Is Arsenal Fighting against Liverpool and Man City for Marc Guehi?

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, 25, is set to leave with his contract expiring in summer. Palace value him at around £40m for a January sale. Liverpool and Man City lead the chase, though Guehi is open to Arsenal and prefers Liverpool over City. Arsenal’s move would likely be in summer despite Gabriel-Saliba’s strong partnership. Palace boss Glasner expects Guehi to depart.

For the second January in a row, Marc Guehi finds himself at the center of a Premier League transfer battle as Arsenal have joined Liverpool and Manchester City in pursuing the Crystal Palace captain. The 25-year-old England international is out of contract at the end of the season, putting Palace under pressure to sell now for around £40m rather than lose him for free in the summer when he would be due a lucrative signing-on fee.

City’s current defensive injury issues have pushed them to the front of the queue, while Liverpool nearly sealed a deal last summer before Palace blocked it. Reports suggest Guehi would prefer Liverpool over City, but he also likes the idea of joining Arsenal. Arsenal’s interest surprises some observers given the established partnership of Saliba and Gabriel, though others believe it may be an opportunity the league leaders do not want to miss.

Palace boss Oliver Glasner has publicly admitted a sale is possible if a major offer arrives and the player wants the move. European giants Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are also monitoring developments as Guehi remains a key figure for England heading toward the 2026 World Cup.
