Bayern Munich and Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old English international Marc Guehi in a Bosman move next year after he leaves Crystal Palace.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are interested in Marc Guehi. The two European bigwigs are keen on reinforcing their defensive units by signing a centre-back next year. So, the 25-year-old Crystal Palace captain has emerged as a target for them.
The latest update has revealed that the Bundesliga champions are ready to win the battle for the Englishman’s signature by offering a contract with €10 million-a-year wages. However, that has not affected Liverpool’s confidence, and the Reds are optimistic about beating Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and Real Madrid to Guehi’s services.
How has Marc Guehi fared in the last few years?
Marc Guehi is midway through his final season with Crystal Palace after entering the final 12 months of his deal. The 25-year-old has been one of the best defenders in the Premier League since arriving at Selhurst Park from Chelsea in July 2021, making significant progress in the last four years while becoming the club captain.
The English international has made over 150 appearances thus far for Crystal Palace while chipping in with ten goals and eight assists. However, Guehi’s contract situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs. Liverpool and Bayern Munich are among the prospective suitors vying for his signature after the latter came close to securing his services in the summer transfer window.
What next?
Liverpool’s continued interest in Marc Guehi makes sense. Giovanni Leoni has picked up a long-term knee injury and will not be fit enough to start the 2026/27 season. Additionally, Ibrahima Konate’s long-term future remains uncertain, despite Real Madrid’s decision not to pursue him next summer. Meanwhile, Virgil van Dijk is on the wrong side of 30. So, Guehi is a viable target for Liverpool.
As for Bayern Munich, the Bavarian giants are in a spot of bother over Dayot Upamecano’s long-term future. The French international may depart from the Allianz Arena as a free agent next summer, compelling Bayern Munich to scour the market for a centre-back. The Bundesliga champions are ready to beat the competition to Guehi’s signature by offering a lucrative deal with €10 million-a-year wages to the Englishman.
While Barcelona and Real Madrid are also keen on signing Guehi, Bayern Munich’s impending contract offer is appealing. However, Liverpool’s confidence has not wavered, and the Reds remain optimistic about winning the battle for the Crystal Palace captain’s signature. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the English international.
