Liverpool transfer target has told current club he wants to leave

Liverpool may reportedly not be alone in their transfer pursuit of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, according to Christian Falk in his CF Bayern Insider column.

Guehi has been a star performer for Palace and is also increasingly a regular in the England national team, so the interest in him is no surprise.

According to Falk, Guehi has informed Palace that he wants to leave, and it looks like that’s what’s going to happen as he heads into the final few months of his contract at Selhurst Park.

As well as Liverpool, it seems the 25-year-old also has interest from Bayern Munich and Tottenham, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Discussing Guehi’s situation, Falk said: “Marc Guehi is a very interesting player for Bayern Munich.”

He added: “The bigger problem FC Bayern will face is whether or not Guehi is still on the market by the time the Bundesliga outfit finds out what Upamecano’s decision is.

“We know there are talks. Bayern want to sign him. But Liverpool F.C. were very far along with this deal in the summer, and I heard that Real Madrid is a really interesting option for the Eagles centre-half – perhaps his favourite one, as we heard!
