Five European clubs eyeing move for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi after Liverpool move collapses

Five European clubs are reportedly eyeing a move for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi after his £35 million deadline day move to Liverpool collapsed. 

According to the Mirror, Bayern Munich have joined the transfer race for the 25-year-old. 

La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are also keeping tabs on the Palace captain, who will be an attractive proposition as a free agent next year. 

Inter Milan and Juventus also have an interest in Guehi and could make a move for him. 

The England international was on the brink of joining Liverpool on deadline day, as he agreed personal terms and their bid was accepted. 

He underwent a medical, but Palace pulled the plug on the deal at the last minute after failing to sign a replacement. 

The Eagles were set to bring in Igor Julio on a season-long loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, but he joined West Ham United instead. 

Manager Oliver Glasner was unwilling to let Guehi leave without bringing in a replacement, and he was forced to stay at Selhurst Park.

However, with a year left on his current contract, the highly-rated defender will likely leave the club next summer. 

Foreign clubs will have an advantage as they can begin negotiations with the centre-back from January 1 and secure a pre-contract agreement.
