Guehi Transfer Race Intensifies After Real Madrid Confirm Militão Injury

The defender's expiring Crystal Palace deal positions clubs to act in January under pre-contract rules.

Overview

  • Liverpool are reported to be prepared to revive a January move for the England centre-back after failing to complete a deal in the summer.
  • Real Madrid's official notice of Éder Militão's ruptured tendon has sparked suggestions they could test Crystal Palace's reported £35m valuation this winter.
  • Sources indicate Marc Guehi does not intend to force a transfer and will maintain a professional approach regardless of bids.
  • Overseas clubs can open pre-contract talks from January 1, increasing the risk that Palace lose the player for free in the summer.
  • Liverpool's stance on Ibrahima Konaté, reportedly including a willingness to sell him this winter, could heighten their urgency to secure Guehi.
