Real Madrid Exit Guéhi Race as Liverpool Emerge Front-Runner

Real Madrid stepping back over salary demands leaves Liverpool as frontrunners, with Bayern still in contention.

Overview

  • Spanish outlet AS reports Real Madrid have stepped away from pursuing Marc Guéhi because his wage and signing-on demands exceed their structure.
  • Multiple reports now describe Liverpool as the leading destination for the Crystal Palace captain after a deadline-day move collapsed in the summer.
  • Bayern Munich are still pursuing the England defender and were recently reported to have met his agent, positioning them as the main continental rival.
  • Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has said Guéhi will not sign a new deal, and with his contract running to June 2026 he can discuss a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January 1, 2026.
  • A separate claim, cited via the Daily Mail, suggests sources in Madrid believe Guéhi has given his word to join Liverpool, though this remains unconfirmed.
