Real Madrid Make Initial Enquiry for Crystal Palace Captain Marc Guehi Ahead of Pre-Contract Window

With overseas talks allowed from January 1, Crystal Palace face a choice between a mid-season sale or risking a free exit in the summer.

Overview

AS and Goal report that Real Madrid have contacted Marc Guehi’s camp and held early discussions as they assess summer centre-back options.
Bayern Munich intend to open talks once permitted, with sporting director Max Eberl previously outlining plans to meet the defender.
Liverpool are monitoring the situation rather than moving immediately after a near-£35 million deal collapsed on deadline day last summer.
Guehi has informed Palace he will not sign a new contract, and from January 1 he enters the final six months of his deal.
Under FIFA rules, non-English clubs can negotiate a pre-contract with Guehi from January 1, increasing pressure on Palace’s decision-making.
