‘Mission impossible’ for Bayern, Liverpool lead Guehi race | OneFootball

The poker game over Marc Guehi is intensifying – and Liverpool FC seems to be taking the lead in the race for the Crystal Palace center-back. While Bayern Munich reportedly still has the Englishman on their radar, the Reds are considered clear favorites according to current reports.

As reported by the Spanish newspaper AS, a move for Guehi to Real Madrid is now "practically ruled out." The reason is the high financial demands of the 24-year-old national player – both in terms of salary and signing bonus.

According to AS, it is a "Mission Impossible" for the Royals and other clubs. Instead, Liverpool is in pole position to secure the defender.

Guehi is under contract with Crystal Palace only until the summer of 2026 – and he will not extend it. His coach Oliver Glasner recently confirmed this openly: "Marc has already told us that he will not sign a new contract. So he will leave next year."

The British Daily Mail and transfer insider Lewis Steele also report that Liverpool currently has the best chances of signing him. Accordingly, there is already a verbal commitment from the player to move to Anfield next summer.

In the last transfer window, a move was already close to completion but failed because Crystal Palace could not find a replacement.

Bayern likely without a chance – Real withdraws

Bayern Munich, which has been monitoring Guehi for months, is likely out of the race. The English national player was considered in Munich as a possible successor to Dayot Upamecano, should his planned contract extension fall through. Recently, reports have circulated that Bayern is having concrete talks with Guehi and his management.
