Real Madrid prioritising Marc Guehi move amid Barcelona links

Real Madrid are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of the Crystal Palace star Marc Guéhi.

He has entered the final year of his contract, and he will not renew his deal with the London club. Multiple clubs are exploring his signing, and Real Madrid would like to sign him as a free agent.

They were initially considering a move for the Liverpool defender, Ibrahima Konate, but it seems that Guehi is now a more attractive option for them, as per Fichajes. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.

Real Madrid will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with the player when the transfer window reopens in January. The opportunity to join Real Madrid could be exciting for the English defender. He will look to compete at the highest level and fight for major trophies. Real Madrid will be able to provide him with that opportunity.

Marc Guehi would improve Real Madrid

The 25-year-old has proven his quality in the Premier League, and he has the ability to succeed in La Liga as well. He could develop into an important player for Real Madrid. Apart from his quality as a defender, he’s very good with the ball at his feet, and he will help Real Madrid build from the back.

They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the England international would be a superb acquisition. Signing a player of his quality and experience on a free transfer would be a masterstroke from the Spanish club.

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid can beat clubs like Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona to his signature. Barcelona are monitoring the situation of the 25-year-old Premier League defender as well. They could use more depth at the back, and Guehi would help them improve as well.
