BAYERN PLOT PREMIER LEAGUE RAID FOR PALACE STANDOUT, TALKS BEGIN

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is set for a 2025 exit after rejecting a new contract. Bayern Munich have met with his agents, with Liverpool & Real Madrid also interested. Manager Oliver Glasner's future is also in doubt.

According to reports, representatives of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi have met with Bayern Munich to discuss a possible transfer.

In the summer, the 25-year-old Eagles captain was on the verge of leaving the team to sign with Liverpool, but chairman Steve Parish abruptly called off a deal.

Since then, there have been a lot of rumours that Guehi would be leaving, and this week, Oliver Glasner confirmed that the England international has no plans to sign a new contract that would keep him with the team into next summer. 

With Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich reportedly at the top of the list of clubs hoping to buy him, the Palace star will thus have the freedom to negotiate a move away from the team in January. 

Florian Plettenberg, a local journalist, claims that Guehi's agent met with representatives of the German powerhouses this week to talk about a possible transfer. 

In addition to losing Dayot Upemecano and Kim Min-Jae, Bayern is rumoured to be seeking a centre-half. Nico Schlotterbeck of Borussia Dortmund is another player on their radar. 

When Marc Guehi's contract expires in the summer, it is anticipated that he will depart Crystal Palace.

It is said that this week, his representatives met with Bayern Munich to discuss a possible transfer.

However, Real Madrid and Liverpool will probably put up a fierce fight for Guehi's services. Given their recent defensive struggles, Arne Slot's Reds may even try to sign the centre-back in January. 

Earlier this week, Palace manager Glasner discussed his captain's future, saying, "The club wanted [him to stay]." Marc was presented with a new contract. "No, I want to make something different," he responded. And that is typical. 

And how can we handle this scenario, in our opinion? [How] may this next stage be completed most effectively? And that is all about the way we communicate.

Following the departure of talisman Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, the Eagles may potentially lose Glasner himself in the summer, which would be devastating for fans.

Given his revolutionary impact on his team and the fact that he has not extended his current contract, there will be numerous clubs interested in the Austrian when his contract expires at the end of the current campaign. 

The manager, who recently led Crystal Palace to a club-record 19-match winning streak, stated, "It is all about being successful, and I want to be as successful as possible with my players for Crystal Palace." "I will provide this every day."

It is not just Oliver Glasner's opinions; the chairman, every employee, and the owners are all involved. The stadium's capacity is being increased. The club wants to build a new stand, and thus it has been a project for years. It is critical to increase revenue. The PSR regulations are getting more stringent.

Building the academy and luring other players to Crystal Palace was the first step. To go on to the next phase, we must perform more than one item. We must take the proper actions in each sector if we wish to improve as a club in a way that lasts. 

Last week, Oliver Glasner acknowledged that Guehi has no plans to sign a new contract at Selhurst Park.

I continue to believe that our media section is insufficient for four international football competitions.

It is a full schedule. It is not just me; it is the players, the organisation, the meeting rooms, and the fact that we have to do our press conferences at the academy for the international games, since the first team training ground's facilities do not match UEFA's standards.

After yet another successful season debut, Palace now sits ninth in the Premier League. 

This evening, they will play Larnaca in the Europa Conference League at Selhurst Park. 

BAYERN'S BOLD MOVE: EBERL PLANS JANUARY TALKS TO SNATCH MARC GUEHI FREE AGENT

Marc Guehi is set to be a 2026 free agent after refusing a new Palace deal. Bayern Munich is pushing hard, with director Max Eberl set for direct talks on January 1.

Crystal Palace Star Refuses Deal, Eyes 2026 Exit

Sky Sports is all over Marc Guehi's future, and things are getting clearer. The Crystal Palace captain is one of the Premier League's most solid defenders. It looks like he'll be a hot free agent in the summer of 2026. Word is that sporting director Max Eberl already met with the player’s agent and is planning more talks. This shows how serious Bayern Munich is about him as a long-term option.

Dayot Upamecano's contract is up in the air, so Bayern is getting ready, and Guehi is high on their list. Sky Sports says Eberl will have new talks on January 1, this time with the Englishman himself, a big step in chasing him.

Contract Trouble Creates Big Chance

Guehi isn't signing a new deal with Crystal Palace. His contract ends in 2026, which has given Europe's top teams a rare chance. Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid are all watching. But Bayern is moving the fastest.

He's been consistent, mature, and a leader, making him important at Palace, even though he's said he's leaving. Sky Sports mentioned he continues to give his all for the Eagles, like when he scored the winning goal in the 2-1 derby win at Fulham.

Guehi's Growth Under Oliver Glasner

Under Oliver Glasner, Guehi has gone from a good defender to a real Premier League star. He's great at spotting danger early, staying calm under pressure, and leading the defence. This has been key to Palace's quick improvement this season.

Guehi's story, from Chelsea academy player to Palace icon, is already amazing. He signed for about 23.3 million euros in 2021 and has played 146 games since then, with eight goals and seven assists. He's also played for England 26 times, and that number will certainly go up.

Someone close to the talks said Guehi wants to know what's happening early in the year. Bayern is being respectful and has big plans, which he likes. This fits with his reputation as someone who values stability and planning for the future.

Big Battle for a Premier League Leader

The fight to get Guehi is becoming a major story this window. Bayern is making a strong push, but Liverpool and other big teams are also interested, keeping things interesting.

Sky Sports' reporting asks a good question: Who will win the race in Guehi poker, as they call it? He can start talking to teams in January, so the big moves are about to happen.

ANALYTICAL: WHY HARRY KANE'S COMMITMENT TO BAYERN IS DEEPER THAN SCORING GOALS

Harry Kane has rejected his £56M release clause, prioritising Champions League success with Bayern Munich. Contract extension talks are expected to begin soon.

Kane's Trophy Focus Shuts Down Barcelona, England Return

Harry Kane is having an amazing season with Bayern Munich.

The 32-year-old has already scored 28 goals in all competitions, but he does more than just score; he's involved in every game.

He seems like a new player this season, and Bayern thinks he can keep playing at this level for a while.

Harry Kane wants to stay at Bayern

Kane has said he loves his time in Germany and wants to win trophies with Bayern.

Some thought he might want to return to England to break Alan Shearer's goal-scoring record.

But he’s more interested in winning trophies like the Champions League, which he believes he can do with Bayern.

Kane had a £56m release clause in his contract, but it's expiring at the end of January.

He has decided not to use this clause because winning with Bayern is his priority.

Recently, Spanish media said Barcelona might try to sign Kane as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, who might become a free agent next summer.

But I've learned that this move was never really considered.

Bayern's plans for Kane

I mentioned before that contract talks would only start after January, when his release clause ends.

The striker has two years left on his contract, and everyone seems relaxed about it.

Kane might even wait until after the World Cup to discuss a one-year extension until 2028.

Kane recently said he expects contract talks with Bayern to start soon and that fans shouldn't worry about his future.
