Chelsea Out of Race for Dean Huijsen, Focus Shifts to Marc Guehi

Chelsea have withdrawn from the race to sign Juventus' promising young defender Dean Huijsen, shifting their focus to Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi. Reports from The Chelsea Chronicle and Chelsea News indicate that the Blues have deemed Huijsen an 'unbelievable defender' but have decided against pursuing him further. Instead, they are now prioritizing a move for Guehi, who has been a standout performer for Palace this season.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have reportedly entered the fray for Guehi, aiming to beat Chelsea and another unnamed Premier League club to his signature. According to Liverpool FC's official news, the Reds are keen on bolstering their defense with the England international. However, Team Talk suggests that any move for Guehi could cost around £50 million, a figure that might complicate negotiations.

As the transfer window heats up, Chelsea's strategy appears to be focusing on strengthening their backline with experienced Premier League talent, while Liverpool look to capitalize on their rivals' indecision.
