Real Madrid Unwilling to Meet Guehi's Salary Demands; Now Liverpool/Bayern Want to Try

In fact, since the start of this season, the name of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi has been circulating in the offices of major European clubs, including the Santiago Bernabéu.

He was among the many candidates considered by Real Madrid, listed on the same shortlist as players like Ibrahima Konaté, Dayot Upamecano, or William Saliba (before Saliba renewed his contract with Arsenal).

However, his demands for a high salary and signing bonus have made his move to Real Madrid almost impossible. He is absolutely worthy of this salary, even exceeding expected offers.

This is not only because he is one of the best defenders this season, but also due to the impressive way he has achieved it. Crystal Palace just secured a brilliant victory at Wembley Stadium, defeating the struggling Manchester City to win the FA Cup.

The English international was one of the key contributors to the team’s achievement. At 25, he is in the ascending phase of his career. According to Camel Live data, he is the second most reliable center-back this season: in 17 games (his most appearances), he wins 73% of his duels per game, has an aerial duel success rate of 57%, and also records 9.84 tackles and 2.76 clearances per game.

He is eager to compete for trophies, gain due international recognition, and become a key player for the team. In this context, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are his top choices.

Anfield is his biggest dream. Last summer, he was close to joining Slot’s side, but Crystal Palace abandoned the deal at the last minute due to failing to find a suitable replacement.

Glasner himself even threatened to resign if the transfer went through. As for Munich, they at least want to try to sign the in-demand center-back.

His economic value and compatibility with the team’s plans have attracted them, especially with Kim Min-jae expected to leave. It’s a long battle that won’t be resolved until at least January next year. Currently, Marc is focused on the present. Crystal Palace is competing in the Europa Conference League and is in a fierce race for European qualification, and he hopes to fulfill his final commitments.
