Bayern Monitoring Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as upamecano Contract Talks Loom
Bayern Munich is tracking crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as a potential summer transfer target, with the situation heavily influenced by contract negotiations with current Bayern center-back Dayot Upamecano. The club is prioritizing Upamecano’s extension, but Guehi has emerged as a viable choice should those talks falter.
The potential for Guehi to move to Bayern is indirectly linked to activity at othre top European clubs. Should Liverpool lose Ibrahima Konate to Real madrid, they are expected to pursue Guehi – a pursuit that failed on the recent Deadline Day – and Bayern could then enter the fray. This illustrates the interconnected nature of the transfer market, where moves at one club can trigger a cascade of activity elsewhere.
Bayern currently has several central defensive options including Jonathan Tah, Minjae Kim, and the injured Hiroki Ito. Though, securing Upamecano to a long-term deal remains a key objective for the Bavarian club.
English media reports have already linked guehi with a move to Munich, suggesting the club’s sporting director, Max Eberl, is actively monitoring the 25-year-old’s situation. The summer 2026 transfer window could prove pivotal for Bayern’s defensive setup.
