Liverpool and Chelsea have been closely following Crystal Palace players throughout the season that could move during the summer transfer period.
The Eagles have talented players on their team who are looking to the biggest club in the league.
Eberechi Eze, Adam Wharton, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi have been attracting the attention of the Premier League Giants this season and may be heading for a move from Selhurst Park.
They are interested in the moves of England’s international defender Guehi, as both Liverpool and Chelsea are likely to bolster their defense this summer.
According to TBR Football, Liverpool and Chelsea are leading the race to sign Palace defender Guehi.
The Premier League giants are looking to add strength to their defense in the summer, with Guehi being identified as their best transfer target.
Since leaving Chelsea in 2020, Guehi has become one of the best defenders in the league, and his consistency level has risen.
He was England’s starting centre back at Euro 2024 last summer under former manager Gareth Southgate and was one of the three Lions’ best players in the competition.
Liverpool and Chelsea face defensive problems
With Virgil van Dyke facing an uncertain future at Anfield, it makes sense for Liverpool to consider signing the palace defender.
Chelsea have their own issues when it comes to defensive positions. Bruce is struggling with Wesley Fofana’s injuries and they may be looking at a more reliable option in the back.
Gehi, previously linked to a move to Newcastle United, entered the final year of his contract this summer, and the palace is ready to win cash for him this season and beyond.
According to the report, the palace has identified Maxim Esteve and Love van den Berg as potential alternatives to Guech.
While exits seem inevitable to join the larger club, his destination remains unknown at this stage.
