Will Bayern make their move now? Top target available this summer! | OneFootball

The future of Dayot Upamecano at FC Bayern remains uncertain. Therefore, the decision-makers in Munich are already looking for possible replacements. Now it seems that the departure of one of Max Eberl’s desired players is a done deal.

Marc Guehi will leave Crystal Palace next summer. Head coach Oliver Glasner confirmed this on Friday at the press conference ahead of his club’s Premier League match against Bournemouth.

“Marc has already informed us that he will not sign a new contract and will therefore leave next year. We wanted him to stay and offered him a new deal. But he said, ‘No, I want to do something else.’ And that’s normal,” explained Glasner.

The 25-year-old, who was already close to a move to Liverpool in the summer, could become one of the most sought-after defenders of the upcoming transfer window. In addition to international heavyweights such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Tottenham, Bayern Munich are also said to be very interested.

As reported by Sky, Guehi is considered by sporting director Max Eberl to be the preferred solution for central defense. The England international is said to be at the top of his list. Eberl particularly values his athleticism and tackling strength—qualities that are always in demand in Bayern’s defense.

However, it is still unclear whether Munich can prevail in the race for Guehi. Although the defender will be a free agent in the summer, the competition is fierce.

Furthermore, interest in Guehi is likely closely tied to the future of Dayot Upamecano. Talks about an extension with the Frenchman are ongoing—but so far without a result. According to reports, the reason is high salary demands including a signing fee. Real Madrid are said to be closely monitoring the situation and ready to meet the player’s demands. His contract, like Guehi’s, expires next summer.
