Crystal Palace Rejects Tottenham's £70M Bid for Marc Guehi – What’s Next?
So, big news coming out of the Premier League transfer window—Crystal Palace has turned down a massive £70 million bid from Tottenham for England center-back Marc Guehi. Yeah, you heard that right— seventy million ! Spurs were keen to strengthen their defense, especially with their growing injury list, but Palace has made it clear: Guehi is not for sale.

Now, let’s break this down a bit. Guehi, who has been rock solid at the back for Palace, has been on the radar of several big clubs. Newcastle tried to get him last summer, making multiple bids, the final one reaching £65 million, but Palace stood firm back then too. And now, with only 18 months left on his contract, he’s still a hot target. Chelsea, his former club, is also reportedly keeping an eye on him, despite selling him to Palace for just £18 million back in 2021.
For Spurs, this rejection is a bit of a setback. They’re desperate for defensive reinforcements after losing key players to injuries. Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, and their latest signing, Radu Dragusin, are all sidelined. They recently managed to bring in Kevin Danso on loan from Lens, but they clearly wanted a more long-term fix with Guehi. The big question now is—will they try again? At the moment, reports suggest Spurs are not planning to increase their bid.
On the other hand, Palace’s decision makes sense. They’re already short on center-backs after Chelsea recalled Trevoh Chalobah and Chadi Riad suffered a long-term injury. Selling Guehi now would leave them in a very vulnerable position, especially since they haven’t secured a replacement yet. They were looking at signing Tiago Djalo from Porto, but that deal hinged on Juventus recalling him from his loan spell—something that hasn’t happened yet.
With the transfer deadline approaching, things are getting tense. Will Palace reconsider if a bigger offer comes in? Will Spurs pivot to another target, like Chelsea’s Axel Disasi or AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori? Only time will tell. But for now, Palace are standing their ground, and Guehi remains their defensive leader.
What do you think—should Palace have taken the money, or are they right to hold onto him? Let’s see how this plays out as the transfer window nears its end.
