Inter Milan rival Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid in Marc Guehi race

Inter Milan will reportedly compete with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Real Madrid in the race to sign 25-year-old Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi in a Bosman move next year.

According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Marc Guehi is the subject of interest of Inter Milan. The Serie A giants are keen on reinforcing their defensive unit by signing a centre-back, and they have set their sights on the Crystal Palace captain. However, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Real Madrid are also keen on securing a Bosman move for the English international.

Marc Guehi and the wait for a new adventure

Marc Guehi is in his final season with Crystal Palace after entering the final 12 months of his deal. The 25-year-old has been one of the best defenders in the Premier League since arriving from Chelsea in July 2021, making significant progress in the last four years. The Englishman has been instrumental in Crystal Palace’s recent success, guiding them to the FA Cup and the Community Shield this year.

However, Guehi is ready for a new adventure after narrowly missing out on a move to Liverpool this past summer. The English international has made over 150 appearances thus far for Crystal Palace while chipping in with nine goals and six assists. However, his contract situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs, with Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.

A man in demand

Liverpool came close to signing the Crystal Palace captain in the summer transfer window, but the deal failed to materialise in the eleventh hour. The continued interest makes sense, as Giovanni Leoni has picked up a long-term knee injury. Additionally, Ibrahima Konate’s long-term future is uncertain due to his contract situation. So, Guehi is a viable target for Liverpool.

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in Marc Guehi is understandable. The West London club will likely part ways with Axel Disasi next summer, and Benoit Badiashile faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. So, Guehi is an option worth considering for Chelsea. As for Inter Millan, Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij are on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the twilight of their careers.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s interest in the 25-year-old Englishman makes sense. David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger are on the wrong side of 30, compelling Los Blancos to pursue at least one centre-back to replace them. So, Guehi is a viable target for Real Madrid, and recent reports have claimed that the 25-year-old Englishman prefers the Spanish giants over Liverpool.

However, with Inter Milan also in the picture, the competition for Guehi’s signature will be intense. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the English international, with the Nerazzurri competing with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Real Madrid for his signature.
