Overview

• Crystal Palace blocked a £35m move to Liverpool on Deadline Day due to a lack of replacement, and Marc Guéhi now enters the final year of his contract.
• Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports Bayern Munich have concrete interest, with Max Eberl an admirer and initial talks held with the defender’s representatives.
• Sky Sports says Real Madrid and Barcelona are viewed as having the edge because they can agree a pre-contract from January, which Premier League clubs cannot.
• Palace are preparing for his departure and would consider serious January offers, their last chance to secure a fee before a likely free exit next summer.
• Liverpool remain linked, but reporting diverges on timing, with some suggesting a January push and David Ornstein not expecting the club to sign a centre-back in that window.
