Barcelona’s search for defensive reinforcements has taken an interesting turn, with reports suggesting that Marc Guehi has emerged as a key name on their summer wishlist. But the Catalans aren’t alone in the chase — far from it.
Liverpool, who have been tracking Guehi for close to a year, came remarkably close to signing him during the previous transfer window, with sources claiming the deal was nearly wrapped up for around €35 million.
Now the situation becomes even more intriguing.
Guehi’s contract is set to expire this summer, placing him among the most attractive potential free agents on the market. Hansi Flick is understood to rate the defender highly, but Barcelona’s financial limits mean they won’t be entering a bidding war.
If the deal isn’t struck in January, Barça’s hopes may rest on offering Guehi a convincing sporting project — and a realistic salary package — rather than the highest bid. With Liverpool still interested and other Premier League clubs monitoring the situation, the competition is only expected to intensify.
What’s clear is that the coming months could shape Guehi’s next step — and both Liverpool and Barcelona know it.
