Real Madrid has reportedly joined the growing list of European clubs interested in Marc Guéhi, the captain of Crystal Palace, as his contract situation becomes critical.
As reported by Spanish media outlet AS, the La Liga team has reached out to the England international’s representatives and initiated discussions to explore the possibility of acquiring him on a free transfer next summer.
Starting January 1, Guéhi, aged 25, will officially enter the last six months of his contract with Crystal Palace, which allows clubs outside the Premier League to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with him.
This has provided an opportunity for European teams to act swiftly, and Real Madrid appears eager to strengthen their position.
Guéhi Prefers Transfer to Real Madrid
Sources from Spain indicate that Guéhi would prefer a transfer to Real Madrid if the club decides to advance their interest.
The prospect of playing for Real Madrid, where he can compete for prestigious titles and regularly participate in the UEFA Champions League, is believed to be very appealing for the defender.
Meanwhile, Madrid is looking to upgrade their defensive lineup as they plan for the next phase of team development.
Although Liverpool has been a long-term admirer and nearly secured Guéhi’s services during the summer, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are also closely monitoring his circumstances.
