Enzo Maresca's Chelsea have reportedly taken the lead over Liverpool in the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, as per TEAMtalk. The Blues are considering signing the English defender in the January transfer window.
A report by GiveMeSport claims that multiple top clubs such as Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Manchester United are also interested in securing Marc Guehi's services. However, the clubs are unlikely to make an offer for the Crystal Palace defender in January due to financial constraints.
The Magpies made three offers last summer for Marc Guehi, the last of which was around £60 million. Palace demanded £65 million at the time but have increased their asking price to £80 million. A report by TEAMtalk in November claimed that Marc Guehi is also keen to rejoin Chelsea.
