Manchester United will reportedly have to pay at least £60m if they wish to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in 2024.

Crystal Palace have reportedly set a £60m asking price for Manchester United target Marc Guehi.

The 23-year-old has established himself as a key part of the Palace backline since joining the club from Chelsea in the summer of 2021.

Guehi, who has formed a reliable central-defensive partnership with Joachim Andersen, has made 92 competitive appearances during his time with the Eagles.

The defender's impressive performances have been recognised by England boss Gareth Southgate, who has handed Guehi seven international caps.

After being linked with a move away in the summer, Guehi's Palace future continues to be the subject of transfer speculation.

Man United have recently been linked with the former Chelsea man, as they look to bolster Erik ten Hag's defensive options.

Injuries to Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez have forced the Dutchman to utilise the likes of Harry Maguire, Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof.

With Evans viewed as a short-term solution, and Maguire facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford, Man United are keen to bring in reinforcements in 2024.

According to Football Insider, the Red Devils will have to splash out at least £60m to prise Guehi away from Selhurst Park next year.

Any potential transfer would have to wait until the end of the campaign, with Guehi reluctant to leave during the middle of the season.

The centre-back is keen to continue playing regularly for Palace, as he looks to secure his place in the England squad for Euro 2024.

With the Eagles hoping to fend off interest from potential suitors, they are willing to hold talks with Guehi over a new contract.

The Palace defender earns a reported £50,000-a-week in his current contract, which is set to run until the summer of 2026.
