Bayern Munich are set for fresh talks regarding their Marc Guehi pursuit, as this time they are expected to contact the player’s entourage.
According to Ekrem Konur, Bayern Munich are set to make a fresh push for Marc Guehi as talks are planned with the player’s entourage. The Crystal Palace defender is not expected to sign a new deal at Selhurst Park, and from the start of January, he can negotiate directly with clubs from outside of the Premier League.
Marc Guehi is likely to be one of the hottest topics of the January window, as a host of top teams are in a battle for the 25-year-old centre-back target’s signature. The Crystal Palace star has established himself as a top-rated defensive star at Selhurst Park, and he is currently a mainstay in the England national team.
Having failed to make the move to Liverpool on deadline day of the summer window, Guehi is not expected to sign a new deal at Crystal Palace. While he is one of the main reasons for the club’s success under Oliver Glasner, the Londoners must plan for life beyond their defensive mainstay.
There were rumours that Crystal Palace could consider a January sale if they could get a good enough price and time to replace their skipper. Liverpool were expected to make a push for Marc Guehi as they continue to consider him as their main defensive target, although there is a big chance the 25-year-old centre-back target moves on a Bosman deal in the summer.
Real Madrid are also in the mix, as the Spanish giants are attracted by the prospect of having a top-level defender on a free transfer. Beyond those clubs mentioned above, Manchester United are reportedly in the mix for Guehi, as they might view him as a long-term replacement for Harry Maguire. Champions League football will be vital for the Red Devils to attract players of his calibre, as teams like Bayern Munich are also in the race.
Bayern Munich to pursue Marc Guehi?
Bayern Munich held talks earlier to understand the prospect of signing Guehi either in January or next summer, and now they are ready to push for the move. The Bavarians are now planning to hold direct talks with the player and his entourage, as Guehi can talk to clubs outside of the Premier League from January 1.
The plans are clear to the eye, as Bayern Munich are eager to tie the 25-year-old centre-back target down to a pre-contract agreement ahead of a Bosman move in the summer. Whether the Palace star is a direct replacement for Dayot Upamecano will be a question the fans of the Bavarian side will ask, although the club are actively trying to renew the France international’s contract, and strengthen the team with the Marc Guehi capture.
