Real Madrid Step Back From Guehi Pursuit as Liverpool Move Into Pole Position

Spanish reports cite wage demands pricing Madrid out, leaving Liverpool as frontrunner with Bayern still in contention.

Overview

  • Diario AS reports Real Madrid have effectively withdrawn due to salary and signing-on demands, a stance echoed across UK and Spanish outlets.
  • Liverpool are widely described as favourites for the Crystal Palace captain after a deadline‑day move collapsed in the summer when Palace halted the deal.
  • Bayern Munich remain a serious contender, with reports of meetings between the club’s hierarchy and Guehi’s representatives.
  • Oliver Glasner has confirmed Guehi will not renew a contract that runs to June 2026, and the defender can discuss a pre-contract with overseas clubs from January 1, 2026.
  • Separate reports claim the player has given his word to join Liverpool, which is unconfirmed, while Liverpool’s planning is also influenced by ongoing uncertainty over Ibrahima Konaté’s contract.
