According to AS, Real Madrid have decided against signing Marc Guehi at the end of the season, when his contract with Crystal Palace expires, leaving Liverpool and Bayern Munich as the two likeliest possible destination for the 25-year-old centre-back, ahead of the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Guehi was one of the three options considered by Los Blancos as they plan to reinforce their defensive department next summer. However, it seems his demands in terms of wages and sign-on fee exceed what they’re willing to offer, so they’ve decided to move on.
The other two names on their list are – coincidence or not – Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate and Bayern’s Dayot Upamecano, who will also be out of contract at their respective clubs soon.
Both Bayern and Liverpool still hope to persuade their defenders to sign new deals, obviously seeing Guehi as an addition rather than replacement, but Real’s move for one of Konate or Upamecano would certainly change that.
