Bayern Munich are one of the early suitors to sign Marc Guehi in the future and challenge Liverpool for the signature of the Crystal Palace star.

According to Fichajes, Marc Guehi could have more than one suitor during the winter transfer window, other than Liverpool, with Bayern Munich the latest to enter the race. The Bavarian giants view the 25-year-old summer target as a key addition to their long-term plans, and they will now challenge the Merseysiders for the signature of the Crystal Palace star.

The Marc Guehi saga unfolded on deadline day, and at the end of it, he was not a Liverpool player. The drama unfolding in the background suggested Crystal Palace were reluctant to let him leave around the closing stages of the window, despite Liverpool agreeing a deal for the defender and even undertaking medical tests to complete the move in time.

Crystal Palace did not want to sell the Englishman due to the lack of adequate replacements, as a late deal for Brighton & Hove Albion’s Igor Julio collapsed. Manager Oliver Glasner played a critical role in keeping Guehi in the end, as per multiple reports in the aftermath of the 25-year-old’s failed summer move to Liverpool.

Marc Guehi was left disappointed following the collapse, and the reaction might have been obvious. However, he is guaranteed to get his future big move away from Palace, especially now that he is not expected to sign a fresh deal at the club. Liverpool are expected to return for him as soon as January, although one might suspect they may not have a straightforward path towards the centre-back as they did in the summer.

While Liverpool are probably still viewed as the favourites for the 25-year-old summer target, they are expecting competition from some of the biggest clubs, not only from England but also abroad. Real Madrid were long credited with an interest, and they might be one of the tough contenders for Guehi, but Bayern Munich have also entered the race.

Bayern Munich want Marc Guehi

Bayern Munich are steadily improving their squad, keeping the long-term future in mind, as they are now one of the early contenders for Guehi. The Bundesliga champions view the defender as a key part for the present and future, with the club now expected to enter the race for the Crystal Palace star.

Marc Guehi will have multiple choices heading into the January window, and could take the route of his national team captain, Harry Kane, into joining Bayern Munich. Die Roten are looking for solutions that help them win the Champions League, but so far Liverpool are still considered the favourites to land Guehi, although any move in Janaury would still depend on Palace and their stance on the defender.
