Bayern Plan January 1 Talks With Marc Guehi as Pre-Contract Window Opens

Foreign-club pre-contract rules on expiring deals position Bayern to move first, potentially putting Liverpool at a disadvantage.

Overview

  • Sky Germany reports sporting director Max Eberl intends to meet the Crystal Palace defender at the start of January, when he can agree a pre-contract abroad.
  • Guehi’s deal expires in the summer, meaning he can negotiate with overseas clubs from January but cannot sign a domestic pre-contract.
  • Liverpool retain interest but are described in recent reporting as no longer favourites, with Bayern viewed as gaining an advantage by moving early.
  • Crystal Palace face a value call on whether to sanction a January sale or risk losing the England international for free in the summer.
  • Separate January notes include Tottenham reportedly trying to sell Yves Bissouma and Aston Villa indicating they could send Harvey Elliot back to Liverpool.
