Chelsea have made offer to sign top transfer target – can get deal done for £55 million

Crystal Palace have dropped their asking price for Marc Guehi this January transfer window after CHELSEA reportedly made an opening offer to sign the defender before the close of the winter window.

Chelsea have had a better start to the new season than many people expected and are firmly now in the chase to win those Champions League spots, which will be a massive achievement for the club this season.

However – Enzo Maresca has a number of injury issues that he needs to contend with over the next few months, so adding a new defender to the squad is something that has been on the mind of the Italian boss, and Guehi is a player that the club reportedly wants.

Over the past few seasons, Guehi has developed into one of the most consistent players in the Premier League and a defender that has been constantly linked with all the big clubs because of his outstanding performances.

The Sun say Chelsea recently made an opening offer for the 24-year-old which was deemed as a ‘silly’ figure by Palace, but have dropped their asking price for the defender to £55 million.

The south London side – currently just 15th in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone – were holding out for £70m but have reportedly dropped their asking price to around £15m as Guehi has entered the final 18 months of his contract

Look, Guehi needs to make that move to one of the big clubs, he needs to make that step up in the game, and Chelsea could be the ideal place for him to get some much needed experience as they are a side that is on the up.

If that asking price has been brought down, CHELSEA will still need to sell players before they can get a transfer deal done for the player
