Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi could reportedly be in line with a surprise return to his former club Chelsea, as the club look for a replacement for Wesley Fofana who had another injury setback

Club sources have updated TEAMtalk on Crystal Palace's position when it comes to the future of club captain Marc Guehi, who continues to be heavily linked with a return to his old club Chelsea.

Chelsea’s first offer to Crystal Palace for Marc Guehi has been described as “silly” as they attempt to bolster Enzo Maresca’s backline. Guehi emerged as a January transfer target for the Blues after long-term injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile, with Maresca admitting that they may need to dip into the market this month.

Crystal Palace have dropped their asking price for Marc Guehi but knocked back Chelsea’s opening bid for the England defender, according to reports. Chelsea have expressed interest in signing Guehi, who they sold in 2021,

Chelsea are said to be “actively considering” the idea of going after Marc Guéhi, presumably instead of recalling Chalobah rather than in addition to recalling the player already under contract with us. As Palace manager Oliver Glasner said, do we really need eight center backs? (Now, if we had kept Guéhi and Chalobah all along instead...)
