Rumors are swirling about Marc Guehi’s future at Selhurst Park, and Crystal Palace is reportedly looking at a Champions League-level defender as a possible replacement.
Crystal Palace Transfer News
Despite improved performances under Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace may face challenges in the summer transfer window as top clubs target their key players.
Jean-Philippe Mateta and Guehi have been mentioned in transfer rumors, with interest from leading Premier League teams expected to intensify.
Mateta’s goal-scoring form has reportedly made him a target for Manchester United as they seek to solve their striker issues. However, a move from Selhurst Park to Old Trafford is uncertain, especially considering Manchester United’s current league position.

Guehi’s impressive performances have also attracted attention. After Newcastle United’s interest last summer, Chelsea is now reportedly keen and likely to pursue a move.
Chelsea’s interest is a concern for Crystal Palace, who are reportedly preparing for potential departures. Sources indicate Crystal Palace is considering a summer move for Celtic’s Cameron Carter-Vickers.
The 27-year-old defender has caught the eye of Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, and Everton after another strong season in Scotland, following his permanent move from Tottenham Hotspur three years ago.
Carter-Vickers, who played a key role in Celtic’s Champions League campaign, is considered a top candidate to replace Guehi should he leave this summer.
‘Aggressive’ Carter-Vickers Can Replace Guehi
Replacing Guehi will be challenging for Crystal Palace. However, Cameron Carter-Vickers could be an ideal replacement. At 27, he is in his prime and ready for another opportunity in England’s top league.
Brendan Rodgers praised Carter-Vickers’ resilience after he recovered from an own goal against Club Brugge. Crystal Palace could offer him a chance to return to the Premier League and overcome his past experience at Tottenham.
Brendan Rodgers commented: ‘He’s a really, really tough character. He’s a great guy, he picked himself up. He was really strong and aggressive again in the game and got on with it and had a real bravery in the second half, because he was the one carrying the ball forward for us to start the attack.”
As the summer transfer window approaches, Carter-Vickers could be a player to watch for Premier League clubs, especially Crystal Palace, as they look for a Guehi replacement, potentially triggering a series of transfers.
