FC Bayern are stepping up the pressure in their pursuit of Marc Guehi – and are now apparently planning their next move, with sporting director Max Eberl apparently wanting a personal meeting with the defender
According to information from Sky, Munich are serious about the Crystal Palace centre-back. Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg explained that FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Liverpool FC are all currently courting Guehi. At the same time, he emphasized: „Other top teams, but also FC Bayern.“
According to Sky, the record champions have already made preparations in recent weeks, with a meeting taking place in Munich between sporting director Max Eberl and Guehi advisor Gordon Stipic
The Bayern boss is now planning a personal meeting with the England international. From 1 January, the defensive boss will be officially allowed to negotiate with other clubs, as his contract expires in the summer. Eberl has already „registered“ for this meeting, as Plettenberg reported
Upamecano remains a priority – Guehi remains interesting
The reporter went on to say that the sporting director „would like to speak to Guehi personally“ in January. Background: Bayern are planning changes in central defence. Although the extension with Dayot Upamecano remains the top priority, Minjae Kim can leave the club if a suitable offer is made. Plettenberg emphasised: „Bayern are definitely keeping an eye on Marc Guehi.“
Guehi has been one of the most sought-after centre-backs in Europe for months, and his contract, which expires next summer, makes him even more interesting. A move to Liverpool FC is said to have been close to completion last year before the deal spectacularly fell through. Since then, the 25-year-old has been on the list of several top clubs at the same time, while FC Bayern is closely monitoring developments.
