𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃: Barcelona Keeping a Close Eye on Marc Guehi’s Situation at Crystal Palace

Barcelona has shifted its scouting focus toward the Premier League as the club closely follows the future of Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi. New reports indicate that the Catalan giants see the English defender as a serious option to strengthen their back line.

With defensive depth becoming a growing concern this season — due to injuries, inconsistency, and lack of reliable rotation — Barcelona’s technical staff has been evaluating several profiles. Guehi’s name has steadily risen to the top of their shortlist.

The Crystal Palace defender has earned admiration for his maturity, composure, and ball-playing confidence. His reading of the game, positional discipline, and physical presence have turned him into one of the Premier League’s most dependable young centre-backs.

Barcelona’s scouts have been impressed by his ability to perform consistently against elite opponents, noting how naturally he fits the kind of defender Barça traditionally relies on: strong in build-up play, tactically intelligent, and still young enough to grow into a long-term asset.

Financially, the interest also makes sense. With Barça still operating under economic restrictions, the club is seeking players who provide immediate quality and long-term value. Guehi satisfies both criteria, which explains why internal discussions around him have continued.

However, signing him would be far from straightforward. Crystal Palace considers Guehi a central part of their project and would demand a significant fee before even considering negotiations. Barcelona is well aware that any move for him would be complex and costly.

Still, the Blaugrana have not backed away. Their scouts have attended multiple Palace fixtures, compiling extensive reports and assessing whether a formal approach could become feasible in the coming months.

Guehi himself remains fully focused on performing for Crystal Palace, maintaining professionalism amid rising interest from top European clubs. His growth over recent seasons has not gone unnoticed, and Barcelona is far from the only team watching him closely.

At this stage, the Catalan club has not opened official talks. They are simply monitoring the situation while evaluating timing and financial viability. But internally, there is a belief that Guehi could be a future cornerstone of the defense, should the right opportunity arise.

Upcoming transfer windows will determine whether Barcelona decides to make a move. If they do, the negotiations could quickly become one of the major storylines linking the Premier League and La Liga.

For now, Barcelona remains patient — but very attentive to Marc Guehi’s development at Crystal Palace.
