Chelsea expects to complete Marc Guehi transfer this summer

Chelsea is intensifying its efforts to re-sign England defender Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace this summer, facing competition from Newcastle United and other Premier League clubs. Having previously shown interest last summer, Newcastle had bids rejected for Guehi, who is now valued at around £70 million but may be available for a lower fee as he enters the final year of his contract. Chelsea's management believes they can secure Guehi despite a failed January attempt and have the contractual advantage of a clause that allows them to match any offers made by other clubs. Along with Guehi, Chelsea is also targeting striker Liam Delap and remains focused on strengthening their squad following a quiet winter transfer window. The situation illustrates the fierce competition for top talents in the Premier League, as multiple clubs vie for Guehi's signature. Chelsea's determination reflects their ongoing efforts to bolster their defense and overall squad depth.
