BREAKING: Tottenham in advanced negotiations to sign £70m “superstar” in huge summer deal, he’s willing now to move, reversing his January decision

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to reignite their pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to CaughtOffside, the North London club remains highly interested in securing the England international’s services, despite having a significant £70 million bid turned down by Palace during the January window.

Tottenham Determined to Land Marc Guehi Despite January Rejection

Guehi has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most reliable defenders, attracting attention from multiple top clubs. His consistent performances for Crystal Palace have not gone unnoticed, and with his contract winding down, speculation surrounding his future continues to grow.
The 24-year-old has just over 15 months left on his current deal at Selhurst Park, with his contract set to expire in the summer of 2026. However, reports suggest that he is unlikely to sign an extension, as he is eager for a new challenge following four years in South London. Palace’s reluctance to part ways with their defensive star during the winter transfer window could now shift, given the risk of losing him for a lower fee as his contract nears its final year.

Guehi Expected to Push for a Move as Palace Face a Difficult Decision

According to CaughtOffside, Guehi is preparing to push for an exit this summer and is reportedly seeking a long-term deal at his next club, ideally running until 2029. With Tottenham determined to bolster their defense, the club is expected to revisit negotiations with Palace in an attempt to finally secure their long-term target.
The Eagles have previously placed a hefty valuation of £75-80 million on Guehi, a figure that has deterred several potential suitors. However, with his contract situation putting Palace in a weaker negotiating position, the South London club may be forced to lower their asking price to avoid losing him for a cut-price fee or even on a free transfer later on.

Spurs Preparing for a Significant Summer Overhaul

Tottenham are gearing up for a busy summer window as Ange Postecoglou looks to refine his squad after an inconsistent Premier League campaign. Strengthening the defense remains a priority, and Guehi fits the profile of the athletic, ball-playing center-back that Postecoglou prefers.
Alongside their pursuit of Guehi, Spurs are also eyeing highly-rated Southampton prospect Tyler Dibling. According to GIVEMESPORT, the North London outfit is considered a frontrunner to land the talented 18-year-old, as they look to add promising young players to their ranks.
Dibling’s valuation is believed to be around £40 million, but Tottenham could face competition from Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. The German club has been closely monitoring the midfielder, with Germany becoming an increasingly attractive destination for young English talent seeking first-team opportunities.
As the summer approaches, Tottenham’s recruitment team will be working diligently to finalize key signings, with Guehi at the top of their wishlist. Whether Spurs can finally land their defensive target remains to be seen, but their persistence suggests they are ready to make a strong push once the transfer window reopens.
