Liverpool is set to launch a fresh attempt to sign Mark Guech as a free agent next summer, but Manchester City plans to beat them to the English star’s signature
Manchester City is ready to rival Liverpool to sign Mark Guech as a free agent next summer. And it could turn into a massive tug of war between the two biggest clubs in the Premier League for the English defender.
Guehi, 25, saw a £305 million deadline move to Liverpool’s collapse at the last minute when Crystal Palace pulled a plug in the deal. Guehi opened the doors for other clubs as Guehi becomes a free agent if his contract expires next summer.
It warns Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus and others as the top European clubs are ready to move for the palace captain. However, as Liverpool revisits their interests next summer, there will be a big pull to stay in the Premier League and you will feel there will be a great advantage in the race they sign Guehi.

And now they have serious interest from the city, as the Manchester giant is a huge worshiper of half the classy center.
For all the clubs in the final window, it was clear that Guehi decided that his future was to join Liverpool or move on to the summer of next year after seeing his contract. Thus, City was not a candidate in the final window and could not rival Liverpool’s interest. But that is expected to change in the summer of next year.
Also, there is no chance Guehi will move in January as he has repeatedly committed to the palace this season.
However, Guehi can order a larger contract with the club that scrambles his signature, as players of his quality and age rarely move on free transfers.
Enzo Maresca is a big admirer, so Chelsea is linked to Gehi, but rarely returns to the club where he began his career through the ranks of the academy.
However, there is serious concern from overseas. Real Madrid has gained a reputation for spending heavily on forwards, like with Trent Alexander Arnold, and signing defenders on cheap or free deals.
Barcelona is also enthusiastic, and Guehi has an Ivorian Passport, making him count as a Spanish EU player, making him an even more attractive option for the La Liga Giants.
Bayern Munich is also interested in having a very successful signing with Harry Kane and will consider Guech a great deal for free.
Foreign clubs will be able to speak with Guehi starting January 1st to get pre-contract contracts that could have an advantage over Premier League teams.
