Premier League
Bayern Munich has decided to fully pursue the signing of Marc Guehi in the upcoming winter transfer market, aiming to strengthen a defense that has shown fragility in the early stages of the season.
The emergence of the English international is also a blow to Liverpool, who had tried unsuccessfully to secure him in the summer, as reported by English media.
Marc Guehi, the defender everyone wants
At 24 years old, Marc Guehi has established himself as one of the most reliable center-backs in the Premier League. The Crystal Palace central defender was instrumental in his team's victory over Liverpool in the Community Shield, a match that sparked the interest of the European giants.
At Selhurst Park, Guehi has made 115 official appearances since his arrival in 2021 and maintains a success rate of over 65% in duels won, placing him among the most solid defenders in the English league.
Bavaria Munich's strategy
Coach Vincent Kompany has stressed the need to reinforce the defense. Despite having players like Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min Jae, Jonathan Tah, and Hiroki Ito, the Bavarian team has failed to deliver the defensive solidity required to compete for the UEFA Champions League.
"Kompany believes that Guehi can provide personality and security in key moments," stated Football Insider. Additionally, Bayern's plan is to secure the signing in January, even if the player could be available for free in the summer, to ensure his adaptation before the decisive phase in Europe.

Liverpool at a disadvantage with Marc Guehi
Liverpool was very close to signing the English center-back on September 1, but the operation fell through at the last moment. Liverpool then focused its efforts on the signing of Swedish striker Alexander Isak, who arrived from Newcastle to strengthen the attack.
Now, with Bayern Munich in the race, the options for Arne Slot's team seem to be complicating. The Dutch coach had identified Guehi as a key piece to improve a defense that had ups and downs last season.
Bayern Munich's interest in Marc Guehi not only addresses immediate needs but also reflects a long-term vision. His age and performance make him a valuable asset. Additionally, his profile aligns with Kompany's philosophy, seeking central defenders with the ability to play out from the back and lead from the defense.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace observes the situation cautiously, aware that the pressure from top clubs will be hard to resist. In any case, January promises to be a hot market with Guehi's name at the center stage.
