Overview
- Spanish outlet AS reports Liverpool lead the race for Marc Guehi next year, with Bayern Munich also mentioned and the player said to prefer Anfield.
- Daily Mail reports, echoed by Liverpool-focused outlets, say Real Madrid sources believe Guehi has already committed himself to Liverpool and that Madrid have shifted focus.
- Guehi’s contract expires at the end of the campaign and multiple reports suggest a free transfer is likely, with AS adding Real face hurdles over salary and signing-on demands.
- The defender was close to joining Liverpool in the summer after a medical and a verbal agreement, but Crystal Palace ended the deal when they failed to secure a replacement.
- There are reports Palace could try to sell in January to avoid losing him for nothing, as Liverpool consider whether to move midseason or wait for a free transfer.
