According to press reports, FC Barcelona held initial talks to sign English defender Marc Guehi, but the Catalan club decided to back out of the deal due to the high financial cost involved at this time.

Sources indicated that the Crystal Palace defender will be available on a free transfer next summer when his contract expires, intensifying the competition among top European clubs eager to sign him.

Guehi is attracting significant interest from several prominent clubs, most notably Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Real Madrid, all closely monitoring the player's situation in preparation to make a move at the right time.

The future of the English defender remains open to all possibilities, as clubs await his final decision regarding his next destination.
