Chelsea Football Club is planning to bring back a former player—Marc Guehi.
He’s now the captain of Crystal Palace and has been doing really well.
Chelsea sold him in 2021 for £18 million, but now they want him back… for a cheaper price than the £70 million he’s currently worth!
The timing for this move? After the Club World Cup.
A Busy Summer for Chelsea
Chelsea has already started making changes to their team this summer.
They’ve signed striker Liam Delap from Ipswich for £30 million. But more players are expected to join.
Here’s what Chelsea wants next:
- A center back (like Guehi)
- A left winger
- A versatile attacker who can play different positions

Who Might Be Leaving?
Some current Chelsea defenders might be on their way out:
- Renato Veiga and Axel Disasi could be leaving.
- Benoit Badiashile’s future is still uncertain.
- Trevoh Chalobah is being watched by Napoli, an Italian team, but Chelsea doesn’t really want to sell him.
That’s why signing someone like Guehi could be a smart move.
Chelsea Hopes for a Cheaper Deal
Chelsea really likes Guehi, but they don’t want to spend too much.
They’re hoping Crystal Palace will agree to a lower price after the Club World Cup.
Other defenders Chelsea is interested in:
- Jarrad Branthwaite
But those players might be harder to get because their current clubs don’t want to sell them or their contracts are expensive.
Guehi, now 24 years old, had a great season with Crystal Palace. He even helped them win the FA Cup and scored 3 goals in 44 games!
Chelsea Also Needs Another Left Back
Chelsea is also looking for someone to back up Marc Cucurella, their only left back. If Cucurella gets injured, there would be no one to replace him.
One top target is Jorrel Hato, a 19-year-old star from Ajax in the Netherlands. He can play both as a left back and a center back.
Chelsea has already started talks with Hato, but another big club—Arsenal—is also interested.
Final Thoughts
Chelsea is getting ready for an exciting new season.
With new signings like Liam Delap and possible additions like Marc Guehi and Jorrel Hato, fans can expect a stronger and more exciting team.
