Crystal Palace Consider January Exit for Marc Guehi as Liverpool Eye Quick Move

From January 1, overseas clubs can open pre-contract talks, with Real Madrid signalling a preference to wait for a summer free.

Overview

  • Crystal Palace are not ruling out a winter sale to avoid losing their captain for nothing, with Oliver Glasner saying the club is prepared for anything but undecided on his immediate future.
  • Liverpool are expected to explore a January approach after a failed deadline-day move and defensive injuries, and Palace believe the champions could be the only side to bid mid-season.
  • Real Madrid remain interested but, according to reports, do not plan to compete in January as they prioritise free-agent opportunities next summer.
  • Bayern Munich’s interest has been underlined by Christoph Freund speaking to Palace and Max Eberl meeting Guehi’s representatives, according to UK reports.
  • Separately, Palace have held talks over a new deal for Jean-Philippe Mateta, while Sporting’s Ousmane Diomande is being monitored as a centre-back target with Chelsea reported to be weighing a €50m hijack.
