Marc Guehi has been linked with a move away from Crystal Palace this summer, with Arsenal and Manchester United mentioned as potential destinations.
Manchester United conceded 58 goals in the Premier League last season, and they will have to improve in that department if they are serious about challenging Arsenal or Manchester City. Signing Marc Guehi would be a wise decision, and a report from Football Insider claims that the Crystal Palace defender could cost £70 million.
The 23-year-old has proven himself to be a top-quality defender in the Premier League, and he has impressed with his country in the European Championships as well. There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and a move to Manchester United will be the ideal next step in his career.
The Englishman has already proven himself at Selhurst Park, and he will look to take on a new challenge. Competing in Europe with the biggest clubs in the country will be quite enticing for the player, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. The player has been linked with a return to his former club Chelsea as well.
Manchester United certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done. They have been linked with multiple central defenders in recent weeks. Jarrad Brathwaite and Matthijs De Ligt are on their radar as well. All three players will cost a substantial amount of money, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils decide to break the bank for their preferred option.
Marc Guehi would be a quality addition
Guehi is well settled in the Premier League, and he could hit the ground running at Old Trafford if the move goes through this summer. Joining a big club like Manchester United could help him cement his place in the England starting line up as well.
The reported £70 million valuation seems like a premium but the defender is a proven performer in English football, and it is no surprise that Crystal Palace are demanding a steep price, possibly with the aim of keeping him at Selhurst Park. The 23-year-old might be able to justify the investment in the coming seasons.
Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on the player as well. Guehi would be a solid partner for William Saliba at the London club, and he would improve them defensively. As far as Liverpool are concerned, they will need to replace Joel Matip who left the club earlier this summer. Guehi could prove to be the ideal replacement. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
