After Eberl’s move: Freund also working on Guehi transfer

After Max Eberl’s initiative, Christoph Freund is now also stepping up a gear in the Guehi transfer. The sporting director is pushing the talks regarding the Englishman forward.

FC Bayern is intensively pursuing Marc Guehi , the captain of Crystal Palace. The defender will be available on a free transfer this summer, making him a hot topic at Säbener Straße. According to Sport BILD , Freund has now specifically inquired about the English international with Palace coach Oliver Glasner and obtained new information.

Previously, it was reported that Eberl had heated up the transfer process . According to information from Sky , there has already been a confidential meeting between the sporting director and the player’s camp in Munich to discuss possible transfer options. The future of Dayot Upamecano remains uncertain, which is why Bayern’s management is preparing for all scenarios.

During the Bundesliga match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Eberl explained to DAZN : “Our clear goal is to extend with Upa. If that doesn’t work out, for whatever reason, then we have to be prepared. It would be foolish not to. I’m not confirming anything – but we are active in the market.”

With this, the sporting director made it clear that the club is looking for alternatives – and Guehi is apparently among the favorites. According to transfer insider Christian Falk, Bayern is in a “good position” in the race for the Englishman. In addition to Munich, Real Madrid and Liverpool are also said to be interested, but Guehi particularly appreciates the sporting project at the record champions.

Mick Brown, former chief scout of Manchester United, told English media: “At first, it seemed certain that Marc Guehi would move to Liverpool in January, but that is currently not the case, as he has other options – such as Real Madrid or Bayern Munich .”

The 25-year-old is considered a modern central defender with strong build-up play, dynamism, and leadership qualities. Should there be any changes in the future of Upamecano or Minjae Kim, Guehi would be the obvious solution – both in sporting and financial terms.
