MU sent an official offer to Crystal Palace to recruit captain Marc Guehi, in the context that they wanted to compete with Liverpool to win the central defender's signature.
The England star's star has only one year to contract at Selhurst Park and coach Ruben Amorim are trying to quickly close the deal when he aims to add a new center -back in the summer transfer window.
According to the source, the movement of the current Man United is a probe, in order to determine the required Palace price and the level of Guehi's readiness for the switch to Old Trafford. The Red Devils believed that the 24 -year -old player was capable of taking up the main kick immediately, but they would have to compete fiercely with Liverpool, the team is also following Guehi before the transfer closed on September 1.
In addition to Guehi, Man United also viewed upamecano (Bayern Munich) as a potential alternative. The French center -back will run out of contracts next summer. But at this time, Guehi is still the preferred choice.
In the opposite direction, Crystal Palace targeted Jakub Kiwior (Arsenal) as a plan to replace Guhi. The Polish defender can even be included in an agreement related to Eberechi Eze, when Arsenal wants to own the 27 -year -old attacking midfielder this summer.
President Steve Parish recently acknowledged that the great possibility of Guehi will leave Palace after the victory over Liverpool in the Community Shield match on Sunday. “For such high -class players, let them go freely is a big problem for us,” Parish said. “Joachim (Andersen) went to Fulham last summer and we could not lose both. We used to receive a suggestion for Guehi in January but that was different.
Joining Crystal Palace from Chelsea in the summer of 2021, Guehi had 156 appearances for the London team and is currently valued at about 40 million pounds.
