Tottenham bid £70m for Premier League star but he might go for free next summer

Tottenham may yet have a chance of beating Liverpool and others to the signature of Marc Guehi as a new report sheds light on the various possibilities that the Crystal Palace man is prepared for this summer.

Several reliable sources, including Alasdair Gold, have claimed that Marc Guehi has been a long-term target for Tottenham.

With the ongoing speculation over Cristian Romero’s future, and with the Palace star now having just a year left on his contract, this summer may be the ideal time for the Lilywhites to pounce on the 24-year-old.

It emerged a few days ago that Liverpool are now ready to make an offer for Guehi, which came as a major blow to Tottenham’s hopes of landing the centre-back.

However, it has now been claimed that Spurs may not need to abandon their pursuit of the England international, who is yet to decide on his future.

Why Marc Guehi may not greenlight a move to Liverpool

The Guardian have now said that Guehi has no intention of signing a new deal at Crystal Palace but the defender has not decided on his next destination.

The outlet states that Liverpool have now emerged as a ‘strong contenders’ to land the former Chelsea man and a chance to link up with the Premier League champions may be hard to turn down for the centre-back.

However, Guehi may also give a lot of consideration to ensuring that he will get regular game time at his next club.

In fact, it is alleged that the Eagles star has given indications that a club that can guarantee him regular football may have a good chance of winning the race for him.

Guehi has not ruled out staying at Crystal Palace

The Guardian name Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur as the two other clubs who have expressed an interest in the England defender, revealing that both sides have had offers for the player turned down over the last 12 months.

It is alleged that Spurs may push ahead with a move for Guehi if they lose Cristian Romero to Real Madrid while Eddie Howe’s men are hoping that the offer of Champions League football helps sway the Palace captain.

Interestingly, the outlet adds that the Tottenham target has not ruled out the possibility of running out his contract at Selhurst Park and leaving on a free transfer next summer.
