FC Bayern Munich have initiated preliminary discussions with the representatives of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi, according to well-respected insider Florian Plettenberg.

The Bavarians are believed to be highly interested in securing the signature of the England international defender, whose contract with Crystal Palace is set to expire in the summer of 2026. However, Bayern reportedly hope to capitalize on the uncertainty around his future and strike a deal before rival clubs move in.

Guéhi is on the radar of several European giants, including Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. To land the 23-year-old, Bayern will need to present a competitive offer that outshines the financial and sporting packages being prepared by their rivals.

This season, Guéhi has featured in 12 matches across all competitions for Crystal Palace, contributing one goal and one assist—a solid output from the centre-back position.
