Liverpool Seen as Front-Runner as Barcelona and Real Madrid Step Back in Marc Guehi Race

The Crystal Palace captain is expected to finish the season at Selhurst Park, with overseas sides able to open pre-contract talks from January as a free move takes shape.

Overview

  • Palace boss Oliver Glasner has said Marc Guehi will not sign a new deal and is set to leave next year, with expectations he stays through January.
  • ESPN Deportes reports Real Madrid are unlikely to pursue Guehi, and Spanish outlet SPORT indicates a La Liga switch is off the table, weakening Barcelona’s chances.
  • Liverpool, who saw a £35m deadline-day move collapse in the summer, are reported to prefer waiting for a summer free transfer and are described as calm about the timeline.
  • Rival interest remains from Manchester City and leading European clubs such as Bayern Munich, Inter and Atletico, with Chelsea also linked in fresh reporting.
  • Though available on a Bosman, pundits and reports caution that wages and a significant signing‑on fee could make any deal expensive despite no transfer fee.
