FC Bayern could make a move for Marc Guéhi…

Bayern held two meetings with the representatives of Marc Guéhi. The Englishman is a target for Bayern, but much will depend on what will happen with Dayot Upamecano. If the latter extends his contract, then Guéhi could look for a different solution. If Upa decides to leave, the Englishman would be a serious name for the club. At the moment, there are 4 clubs realistically in the conversation for Guéhi: Bayern, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Madrid Universal captured more of Romano’s report, which details all of the elite clubs angling for the Crystal Palace defender:
Real Madrid are very much in the race for the 25-year-old Crystal Palace captain, but face stiff competition from arch-rivals Barcelona, who have already made a call to the player’s camp asking for information.
Moreover, Bayern Munich are also very much in the hunt and have already held two meetings with Guehi’s entourage to explore the possibility of a summer transfer. However, any move might depend on the future of Dayot Upamecano, with the Bayern Munich defender, another target for Real Madrid, still in negotiations over a contract renewal.
Finally, Premier League champions Liverpool are also in the race to sign Guehi, having missed out on his capture late last summer. Recent reports from England have suggested that even Manchester City are considering a move for the former Chelsea prospect.
As reported, Bayern Munich’s entire focus on Guéhi could shift if Upamecano re-ups. However, there will also be a big possibility that Kim Min-jae will want to leave Bavaria next summer. If so, Bayern Munich could go deeper into its pursuit of Guéhi or begin looking more closely at Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck as well.
