Man United urged to submit ‘€75m bid’ for England star wanted by Liverpool and Newcastle united in January -Reports

According to reports, Manchester United is thinking about making a sizable offer for Crystal Palace center defender Marc Guehi, who is still wanted by Liverpool and Newcastle.

Despite putting up three proposals over the summer—the last one worth £60 million with add-ons—the Magpies were unable to persuade Palace to sell the England defender.

However, rumors have claimed that Man Utd is ready to enter the race with a sizable bid of their own, and that hasn’t stopped Guehi’s admirers.

Fichajes claims that Man Utd is prepared to fight with Liverpool and Newcastle for Guehi’s services and has a “strong interest” in the player.

It’s claimed that the Red Devils could submit an offer of ‘over €75m (£62.7m; £83.8m)’ for Guehi. They have already signed Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt this season but are keen to sign another quality centre-back.

Man Utd are also considering another move for Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite, who they missed out on over the summer.

Branthwaite and Guehi could have similar price tags in January so Man Utd’s sporting director Dan Ashworth will have to choose which of the England internati0nals to prioritise.

Crystal Palace could drop Guehi demands
Palace stood firm on their £75m valuation of Guehi over the summer, but reports suggest that the Eagles’ stance could soften in 2025.

TBR Football claims that Palace ‘have told Guehi they will sell him in 2025 if he refuses to sign a new contract.’ His current deal expires in 2026 and so far, he’s shown ‘little enthusiasm’ to extend it.

The report claims that Palace ‘will consider a sale in January if it becomes apparent that a new deal won’t be agreed.’ They are also expected to ‘drop their demands,’ so Man Utd’s proposed £62.7m bid may be enough to sign Guehi.

Sources have confirmed to TEAMtalk that Liverpool have identified Guehi as a potential long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

The Reds are ready to splash the cash on a new defender in 2025 and Guehi, along with Goncalo Inacio, Gleison Bremer and Loic Bade are on their shortlist.
