Manchester United plans to try to sign Marc Guehi in 2025
manchester united The signing of Leny Yoro began its first first division match last weekend in the team's 3-2 loss against Nottingham Forest. It was the Red Devils' second consecutive defeat in the English top flight, after losing to Arsenal The same days before, Rubén Amorim admitted that it is necessary to work a little to get the club back to the top.
According to GiveMeSport (citing Fichajes)Man United 'want to sign' Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi in 2025. Center back has been watched by Liverpool and Newcastle UnitedEdit in the recent past and having remained in Selhurst Park despite strong interest from elsewhere, next year could see it move away from greener ventures.
The report adds that Man United plan to start negotiations starting at £40m, although Palace's demands are expected to be closer to £60m. With Guehi's contract expiring in June 2026, his employers are obliged to sanction his sale next year if they want to avoid losing him for free soon after.
United move unlikely for Guehi
Manchester United are expected to need a central defender next year and Jonny Evans' contract at Old Trafford is unlikely to be extended. There are also doubts about the future of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof. Likewise, Marc Guehi will push to leave Crystal Palace in all likelihood, especially if they are relegated to the Championship.
However, a move to Old Trafford is unlikely because Man United spent a lot of money signing Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro a few months ago. With Lisandro Martínez also in the squad, any additional acquisition is likely to begin his United career in a supporting role. Not only would the club not be willing to spend much, but Guehi would not accept a role on the periphery either.
On a related note, Manchester United could waste their transfer budget to add a left-back and one or two wingers next summer, so only low-cost signings in the heart of the defense could be part of their plans.
