FC Bayern Munich has competition from Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and others…
Bayern Munich has reportedly had two secret meetings with Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guéhi, but aside of Liverpool and Real Madrid, Manchester City could now be in the mix per Sports Illustrated:
Liverpool are not the only club pursuing Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi as his contract winds down, with Manchester City now reported to be “closely” monitoring the England defender.
Plenty of onlookers have suggested the 25-year-old would have been the missing piece for Liverpool, with Ibrahima Konaté’s form falling off a cliff and Virgil van Dijk not faring much better.
It was expected that Liverpool would return for Guéhi, valued at £35 million ($47 million) in August, either attempting to negotiate a cheap deal in January or waiting until his Palace contract ends this coming summer. But it may no longer be as straightforward as picking up where they left off.
Bayern Munich have teased interest in Guéhi as it is, making a habit of recruiting English or Premier League-based players in recent years; namely, Harry Kane, Eric Dier, Michael Olise.
Real Madrid, who are thought to have halted their pursuit of Konaté, are also believed to be interested. However, a report from Spain last month noted financial challenges due expected high salary demands.
Guéhi has become one of the most desirable transfer targets for both the winter transfer window and the summer transfer window. With his contract ending in 2026, some clubs might attempt to get a jump on the process and acquire him in January.
As for Bayern Munich, the club’s willingness to bid on Guéhi likely depends on whether or not the Bavarians can ink Dayot Upamecano to a new deal.
