Bayern and Real Enter Marc Guehi Chase as Palace Signal January Willingness to Sell

The Crystal Palace captain is out of contract next summer, increasing leverage for a mid-season exit.

Overview

  • Guehi’s deadline‑day switch to Liverpool collapsed when Palace withdrew after failing to secure a replacement, despite the player agreeing personal terms at around £35m.
  • Reports in Germany, echoed by UK outlets, say Bayern Munich admire the 25‑year‑old and have held talks with his camp, with Real Madrid and Barcelona also credited with interest.
  • Sky-linked reporting indicates Palace would listen to offers in January, with expectations growing that their captain will depart either then or as a free agent in the summer.
  • Guehi has publicly stated he remains focused on Palace, thanking supporters and declining to be drawn on transfer speculation following the failed move.
  • Liverpool retain interest but, with three straight defeats and only three senior centre-backs after a season‑ending ACL for Giovanni Leoni, are reported to be exploring alternatives such as Barcelona’s Ronald Araújo.
