Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
Marc Guehi has also been linked with Liverpool and Manchester City. However, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are not giving up on their pursuit of the 25-year-old, as per an update by reputed German journalist Florian Plettenberg. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
The Englishman will be available for a reasonable fee this month. The player’s contract expires at the end of the season, and it will be interesting to see if the German champions are willing to sign him this month. Alternatively, they could wait until the summer and sign him for free.
However, Bayern Munich would have to compete with multiple Premier League clubs for him, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. There is no doubt that Guehi is a quality defender, and he has shown that at Crystal Palace. He helped them win the FA Cup and the Community Shield last year.
The English international will now look to fight for major trophies, and the opportunity to move to Bayern Munich could be tempting for him. The Bavarian giants are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they won the league title last season. They will be hoping to win the UEFA Champions League as well. He will certainly be attracted to the idea of joining them.
Competing at the highest level with the Bavarian club could bring out the best in the player. However, the opportunity to stay in the Premier League could be exciting as well. Liverpool and Manchester City are among the biggest clubs in the world. They could provide him with a platform to regularly fight for major trophies and continue in the Premier League.
It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few days. Bayern Munich should do everything in their power to get the deal done. They need to tighten up at the back, and the 25-year-old will certainly help them improve. He could prove to be an upgrade on players like Kim Min-jae. Signing a player of his quality for free could prove to be a masterstroke.
