Chelsea is seriously considering the option of recalling Marc Guehi in the upcoming winter transfer window as part of their strategy to reinforce the defense. The English center-back, currently at Crystal Palace, has been on the radar of the London club for some time.

With only 18 months left on his contract, Guehi is seen as a key piece for Enzo Maresca's defense, who has requested the arrival of a top-quality defender to partner with Levi Colwill. In addition to Guehi, Chelsea is also looking into the return of Trevoh Chalobah, another player from their academy who could provide depth to the defense.

Chelsea Wants to Sign Marc Guehi

At 24 years old, Guehi has been a regular starter at Crystal Palace, playing 23 matches this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists. His consistent performance has made him one of the standout center-backs in the Premier League, attracting interest from several clubs, including Chelsea. Although Palace turned down an offer from Newcastle in the summer, around £70 million, Guehi's contract situation could facilitate negotiations in January as it expires in 2026.

Despite the rumors, Crystal Palace has not yet had formal contact with Chelsea regarding a possible departure of Guehi. However, Chelsea's interest is clear as they seek a defensive reinforcement to bring stability to their backline, a challenge due to injuries.
