Bayern Munich plan 2026 move for Marc Guehi | OneFootball

Bayern Munich are planning to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi on a free transfer in 2026, according to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.

Sporting director Max Eberl is a strong admirer of the England international and views him as a potential long-term addition to the squad.

Early talks have already been held with the player’s representatives to explore the possibility of a future move.

Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae both face uncertain futures at the club.

Bayern will move decisively to secure Guehi’s services if either leaves next summer.

Bayern face competition from top European clubs

Liverpool were close to signing Guehi during the summer transfer window, but discussions reportedly collapsed late in the process.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are also closely following his progress.

His contract with Palace is set to expire at the end of the season, putting him in a strong position ahead of future negotiations.

Since joining Palace, Guehi has become a key figure for club and country.

Guehi captained Palace to a historic FA Cup triumph last season, their first major trophy.

His calm presence, solid positioning and leadership have made him one of the top defenders in the Premier League.

Guehi is known for his controlled defending and ability to read the game well.

He passes the ball accurately from the back and stays composed under pressure. Guehi is also effective at stopping crosses and making recovery tackles.

His blend of discipline and maturity makes him an attractive target for Europe’s top clubs.
