Chelsea is preparing for a significant move in the upcoming winter transfer market by attempting to bring back Marc Guehi, a player from Crystal Palace. The English center-back, who came up through Chelsea's youth ranks, is seen as an ideal addition to strengthen the defense of Enzo Maresca's team.

The operation won't be simple as Crystal Palace has set a price tag of around 70 million pounds to let go of their star defender. Despite resisting offers from clubs like Newcastle in the last summer window, circumstances have changed. Guehi seems unwilling to renew his contract, opening the door to an early sale to prevent his departure as a free agent in the future.

Chelsea wants to bolster their defense in January

Chelsea, aiming to balance experience and youth in their defense, views Guehi as a reinforcement with valuable Premier League knowledge and over 120 appearances for Palace. The need for a reliable center-back is clear, especially if the Blues aim to compete for a spot in the next edition of the Champions League. However, other top clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool have also shown interest in the player, promising intense competition for his signature.

Guehi's return to Stamford Bridge would be both symbolic and tactical for Chelsea, which continues to seek ways to optimize their squad. Now, it all hinges on whether the London club can ensure the necessary conditions, both financially and athletically, to persuade the English international to come back to where his professional career began.
