The Bayern Munich football club is facing some challenges in their defense, with restructuring plans in place, especially in the center-back position. Recent reports suggest that the club might miss out on a rising star from the Premier League.
Marc Guehi, a 24-year-old center-back currently playing for Crystal Palace, has been making waves with his performances, including during the recent European Championships. He has attracted interest from top clubs, including Bayern Munich. However, it seems that Guehi is close to making a move to Newcastle United for a reported fee of 70 million euros, which is significantly higher than his market value of 38 million euros.
Crystal Palace, where Guehi is currently under contract until 2026, is said to be seeking more than 80 million euros for the player. Negotiations are ongoing, with the club’s former Bundesliga coach Oliver Glasner leading the discussions. Despite Guehi’s skills and versatility in defense and midfield, Bayern Munich is unlikely to meet the high transfer fee demands set by Crystal Palace.
In light of these developments, Bayern Munich is shifting its focus to other defensive targets, with Jonathan Tah emerging as a potential top choice. Tah, a Double winner, is now the primary target for Bayern Munich’s defense reinforcement.
The competition for top players in the transfer market is fierce, with clubs willing to invest substantial amounts to secure their desired targets. While missing out on Guehi may be a setback for Bayern Munich, the club remains determined to strengthen its squad and compete at the highest level in the upcoming season.
