Tottenham Hotspur could return for a player this summer whom they had a hefty bid rejected for back in January.
The North London club have had a quiet summer transfer window so far, with Mathys Tel’s loan from Bayern Munich being made permanent as their only arrival thus far.
The changing of the manager appears to have affected how quickly Spurs have been able to do business, with Thomas Frank needing to assess his squad.
One player who could become a target this summer now has strong interest from Liverpool. He was also a player whom they made a strong attempt to sign in the winter window.
Tottenham retain Marc Guehi interest
Tottenham Hotspur retain an interest in signing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, according to BBC Sport.
The defender has just one year remaining on his current deal at Selhurst Park, and the Eagles are now believed to value him at around £45 million.
As reported by TBR Football, Tottenham bid £70m for Guehi in January; however, the South London club rejected their offer.
Palace did not want to lose such a key player halfway through the season, and the 24-year-old was also not so keen to make his move at that stage.
Now, this summer, Guehi is an option for Liverpool, and the Lilywhites would face a tough battle to land him should they make their move.
Currently, Steve Parish won’t sell Guehi for a cut-price fee, as per TBR Football sources, and that is causing the Reds’ move to stall.
In the summer of 2026, the defender would be available for nothing if he does not renew his deal in South London.
Marc Guehi could be the perfect Cristian Romero replacement
Guehi could be the perfect replacement for Cristian Romero, who is being strongly linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur.
Atletico Madrid want Romero, and Diego Simeone is pushing to bring his fellow countryman to the Spanish capital.
Reports suggest Daniel Levy will make it tough for Romero to leave Tottenham and will hold out for a high price for the 27-year-old.
Losing a player as good as the World Cup winner would be a major blow for Spurs, but replacing him with a player like Guehi wouldn’t be bad business at all.
One aspect of Romero leaving would be losing his passing, although when you look at the England international’s passing stats, it highlights what a good fit he would be.
