Real Madrid have stepped up their pursuit of an England international ahead of the next summer transfer window.
The club has already informed the player’s representatives of their strong interest. The Spanish side have also made it clear that they are fully aware of the player’s current market value.
Now, the defender is currently under contract until June. So, next summer, Madrid can sign him for free. This is something the Spanish club has done well in the last few years.
As a result, Real Madrid are preparing to open formal talks from January 1. FIFA pre contract rules allow clubs to speak directly with players in this situation.
According to AS, Real Madrid are eager to sign Marc Guehi. However, the Spanish giants have some concerns about this deal. They made an enquiry about his failed Liverpool move this summer.
Guehi was close to joining Liverpool in a €35 million deal. At that time, he had passed a medical. However, the move did not go through.
Crystal Palace backed out after manager Oliver Glasner threatened to resign. Now, sources have moved to clarify the situation.
Real Madrid were concerned about whether Guehi had a prior agreement with Madrid or not. Now, they know that no such prior agreement exists.
While Liverpool remain interested, any potential talks would have to start from the beginning. The circumstances have changed significantly.
Meanwhile, the player is keeping his options open. Interest has emerged from several elite clubs across Europe.
However, Geuhi see the move to Madrid differently. A transfer to the Bernabeu is his lifelong dream. That factor could play an important role if talks progress.
For now, Marc Guehi’s situation remains open, as various clubs keep monitoring him before the next summer window.
