Liverpool’s transfer targets heat up
Guehi’s contract situation
Marc Guehi currently finds himself in the final year of his contract with Crystal Palace, having opted not to extend his stay at the club. This decision opens up the possibility of a summer transfer move. Liverpool, willing to invest 47.5 million EUR in Guehi, found their efforts halted. Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, unable to secure a replacement, chose to retain Guehi for another season.
Bayern’s interest grows
Bayern Munich has expressed a keen interest in Marc Guehi. Known for acquiring players from rival clubs, Bayern is eager to enter into a pre-contract agreement with the promising 25-year-old defender. Should Kim Min-jae, Bayern’s current center-back, decide to leave, Guehi is considered an ideal candidate for his replacement.
competition from Real Madrid
Real Madrid finds itself amidst the contenders for Guehi’s talents, especially after Arsenal’s William Saliba renewed his contract. With Saliba’s decision, Madrid has turned its focus more intently on Guehi as they strategize to bolster their defensive line. Guehi’s future remains wide open, yet the demand for his skills in the transfer arena is evident.
New targets: Dayot Upamecano
Liverpool’s ambitions extend beyond Guehi, as they set their sights on Dayot Upamecano, whose contract with Bayern Munich will come to an end next summer. Both Liverpool and Real Madrid are poised to initiate negotiations with the French international in the coming January. Bayern Munich remains intent on extending Upamecano’s contract, leaving clubs in fierce competition.
Strategic moves ahead
As the transfer window draws near, Liverpool’s aspirations to fortify their squad are crystal clear. Their focused interests in both Guehi and Upamecano signify the club’s determination to secure impactful new players and strengthen their team before the next season begins.
