Chelsea are keen to sign one world-class defender this summer. They are willing to sign him on discount due to his contract situation. The Blues are joined by multiple other clubs in the race.
Chelsea are keen to improve their defensive unit this summer. They are willing to sign some top defenders. In contrast, the club is ready to sell multiple of the current ones. As of now, all Veiga, Disasi, Badiashile and Chalobah have been linked with exit.
The Blues have been linked with multiple big names. Earlier, they were keen to sign Dean Huijsen but have lost the race. Now, they have players like Jorrel Hato, Tomas Araujo and Branthwaite on their radar. In addition, they are keen to bring back their former defender.
The star in question here is Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace. He came through Chelsea’s academy and later was sold to Palace. The 24 year old is now one of the best defenders in Premier League. He has helped Palace to win their first ever major trophy this season. In addition, he has been a reguler member of the England national team.
Chelsea keen to sign Marc Guehi on discount
The Blues hold long-term interest in Guehi. They view him as a perfect player to lead their defence. The player may also be tempted to rejoin his former club. Now, GiveMeSport have reported that Chelsea are keen to sign him on discount.
Guehi has entered the final year of his contract. He has rejected to sign an extension with Palace. He wants to join a big club. Hence, Palace are open to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year.
Chelsea are looking to take advantage of this situation. Due to Guehi being in final year of his contract, they have put pressure on Palace to sell him on discount. But, the Blues have been joined by multiple other clubs in the race. Guehi will play a big part in deciding his future.
