Do Bayern get a new defender? The Munich view is aimed at an Englishman. The focus is also on an offensive player from the Bundesliga.
FC Bayern is apparently interested in Marc Guéhi. As the Pay TV broadcaster Sky reports, Max Eberl is a big fan of the central defender who is under contract with Crystal Palace. Bayern’s sports director would like to sign the captain of the “Eagles” free of charge, it is said.
Guéhi’s contract expires next summer. According to the “Transfermarkt” portal, its market value is currently 45 million euros. Bayern are probably not the only top club that vouches for the services of the English international (previously 25 international matches). FC Barcelona and FC Liverpool are said to be on Guéhi.
The 25-year-old almost changed to the “Reds” a few weeks ago. But his trainer at Crystal Palace, the former Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner, made a veto together with the club. The reason: Crystal Palace that participating in the Conference League through winning the FA Cup this season was not possible to hire a quick replacement for the regular player.
Guéhi is reportedly dreaming of another club anyway. He would like to switch to Real Madrid, reports Sky.
At Crystal Palace, the 1.82 meter tall defender has been under contract since 2021. At that time he came from the London city rival FC Chelsea. In the meantime he had been awarded to Swansea City.
Another player that Bayern should have on the piece is Saïd el Mala. The 19-year-old scored the crucial goal for the 1st FC Köln at the away win in Hoffenheim-already his second goal of the season.
El Mala is on Bavaria’s extended shortlist, writes Sky. Cologne is informed about the interest of the league leader. Other top clubs would also lurk on the left wing.
In Cologne, El Mala still has a contract until 2030. An exit clause is apparently not anchored in the working paper. Means: If the player is leaving the FC in the coming summer, the club waves a high transfer fee. According to the report, Cologne wants to generate at least 35 million euros by selling El Malas. Its market value is currently 3 million euros.
