Amid heavy Premier League interest, does FC Bayern have a chance?
Bayern Munich is not letting up in its pursuit of Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guéhi. That’s according to the latest report, from Sky Germany, as captured by @iMiaSanMia — which has Bayern executive board member for sport Max Eberl making a recent and personal push:
Max Eberl has made new phone calls regarding Marc Guéhi in recent days, trying to convince him of a move to FC Bayern in summer. Bayern are not giving up on the race for the defender. Manchester City remain interested for January, while Liverpool are pushing for the summer. The race is open [@Plettigoal, @berger_pj]
BFW Commentary
Nothing has changed here, and from this perspective, the race looks like more of a long shot for Bayern. Manchester City needs reinforcements and can make the move right now. That could be an instant upgrade in compensation for Guéhi and likely the preference of his club as well, so that he is not lost on a free. If it goes to the summer, the bidding war will be intense and other clubs may not have a starting center-back pairing as settled as Bayern’s appears to be in Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah.
On the other hand, a footballer only gets so many moves in his career. Perhaps Eberl can make a strong case that, no matter how big those other clubs are, Bayern is still heads and shoulders the right move for Guéhi.
