Overview

• Sky Germany reporting via Florian Plettenberg says Bayern’s interest in the Crystal Palace captain is concrete, with initial talks held and Barcelona and Real Madrid also in the frame.
• Marc Guehi remains at Palace and has said he is focused on the club after his deadline‑day move to Liverpool collapsed, with his contract set to expire next summer.
• David Ornstein says Liverpool are not expected to move for a centre-back in January and could revisit Guehi as a free transfer in 2026, with heavy competition anticipated.
• Reports indicate Palace are prepared to listen to offers in the winter window given pre-contract rules that allow non‑English clubs to agree terms from January 1.
• Liverpool’s centre-back depth has been stretched by Giovanni Leoni’s season‑ending ACL injury, and separate reports suggest they are exploring alternatives such as Ronald Araujo while pundits warn they may no longer lead the Guehi race.
