Spanish Giants Battle For Defensive Reinforcement
With the January transfer window approaching, both Barcelona and Real Madrid are in the market for defensive reinforcements. Barcelona have been scouting Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi as part of their plans to strengthen the backline alongside young talent Pau Cubarsí.
Guehi Shows Clear Preference For Madrid
According to reports, Guehi has privately expressed a preference for a move to Real Madrid over Barcelona if Liverpool—another admirer—does not secure his signature. The England international’s stance has positioned Madrid as frontrunners in the race for his services.
Barcelona’s Transfer Setback
Barcelona had identified Guehi as a cost-effective and reliable solution to their defensive issues. The Premier League defender’s ability to combine power and composure had made him a strong candidate to bolster Xavi’s squad. However, his interest in Los Blancos could leave the Catalan club scrambling for alternative options.
Decision Looms Ahead Of January Window
Both Spanish giants are weighing their moves carefully, with Real Madrid considering whether to act in January or wait until the summer, when Guehi’s contractual situation could become more favourable. Barcelona, meanwhile, may now be forced to pivot their attention to other targets as Madrid strengthens its position.
