Marc Guehi has been linked with clubs like Liverpool and Barcelona as well. However, a report from The Sun has claimed that Real Madrid are now confident of winning the race to sign the 2024/25 FA Cup winner.
The defender will be a free agent at the end of the season, and signing him for free would be a masterstroke from the Spanish outfit. They need more defensive depth in the side, and the England international should prove to be the ideal acquisition for them. Apart from his qualities as a defender, Guehi is excellent with the ball at his feet, and he will add control to the side.
Liverpool were very close to signing the defender during the summer transfer window, but the move failed in the end. Crystal Palace pulled the plug on the deal at the last moment despite the defender undergoing his medical with the Premier League champions. Liverpool have struggled after failing to sign him.
The Reds have looked quite vulnerable defensively, and they are in need of a quality central defender. There have been rumours that Liverpool could look to try their luck in January once again, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince the England international to join them.
Similarly, Barcelona are interested in signing the 25-year-old central defender as well. They need to improve defensively, and signing the Crystal Palace captain would be ideal for them. Clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with the defender when the transfer window reopens in January.
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool try to complete a permanent deal for the defender in January to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona to his signature at the end of the season. It is clear that Guehi is spoilt for choice right now. It will be interesting to see what he decides. He has the pick of top clubs across Europe right now. He will look to join a club where he will be able to win major trophies regularly.
