Chelsea are reportedly considering a move to re-sign Marc guehi from Crystal Palace,according to reports. The potential transfer is part of a broader strategy that could see several players leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.

Following the acquisition of Liam Delap, Chelsea are now focusing on strengthening their defense adn attacking options. The club aims to bolster both their center-back and right-footed attacker positions.

With the forward line addressed by the delap deal, the club’s attention has shifted to reinforcing the defense. Several centre-backs, including Renato Veiga, Trevoh Chalobah, and Axel Disasi, are rumored to be potential departures.

Chelsea had previously shown interest in Dean Huijsen, but the player ultimately chose to join Real Madrid. This setback has lead the club to explore alternative defensive targets.

guehi, who has one year remaining on his Crystal Palace contract, is a key target.The Blues reportedly considered a move for Guehi in January and are now contemplating a renewed effort to secure the England international’s signature.

Guehi, who captained Palace to the FA Cup this season, joined the Eagles from chelsea in 2021 and has since become a highly-rated defender.

Chelsea possess a sell-on clause for Guehi, potentially allowing them to acquire him at a reduced price compared to other interested clubs. However, they will need to act swiftly to finalize the deal.

Should a move for Guehi fail to materialize, Everton’s Jarrad branthwaite has been identified as an alternative option.

Branthwaite’s valuation remains unclear, but reports suggest he would only consider a move to a club competing in the Champions League.
