Real Madrid Make Contact Over Marc Guéhi as Pre-Contract Window Nears

Foreign clubs can talk to the Crystal Palace captain from January 1 under FIFA rules.

Overview

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner says Guéhi will not sign a new deal, putting the defender into the final six months of his contract.
Spanish outlet AS reports Real Madrid have held initial exploratory talks with Guéhi’s representatives about a potential free move in the summer.
From January 1, non-Premier League teams are permitted to negotiate pre-contract agreements with Guéhi, intensifying overseas interest.
Liverpool, who came close to a deal last summer, are monitoring the situation rather than moving immediately and have discussed alternatives such as Maxence Lacroix.
Lacroix’s consistency for Palace this season underpins reported interest, while Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are also credited with tracking Guéhi.
