"By this time, it is well-established that FC Barcelona are in the market for a new centre-back for the summer of 2026. With Inigo Martinez's exit leaving a big void, and Ronald Araujo experiencing a difficult time, the Blaugrana see it as a top priority to sign a new defender next year. Two of the names on the Blaugrana's wishlist are Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace and Nico Schlotterbeck of Borussia Dortmund."
"In fact, according to TZ in Germany (h/t Mundo Deportivo), Bayern Munich have enlisted the help of their superstar Harry Kane to convince Guehi to join them in the summer. Kane, who interestingly is also a target for Barcelona, appears set to stay put at the Allianz Arena by signing an extension on his current contract, which expires in 2027."
"Marc Guehi is very much on Barcelona director Deco's list of possible future signings. However, at the club, there is full awareness that the centre-back is attracting interest from several major teams across the continent. After all, he will be a free agent in the summer, with his contract at Crystal Palace expiring at the end of the season. Given the situation, Barcelona do not wish to enter into a bidding war for the 25-year-old defender despite holding an interest in him."
FC Barcelona view signing a centre-back for summer 2026 as a top priority after Inigo Martinez’s exit and Ronald Araujo’s struggles. Marc Guehi and Nico Schlotterbeck are key targets but attract intense interest from other top clubs. Bayern Munich have reportedly involved Harry Kane to persuade Guehi to join them, and Kane is expected to extend his Bayern contract through 2027. Guehi will be a free agent at season’s end, making him highly sought after. Barcelona recognize the competition and prefer to avoid a bidding war for the 25-year-old defender.
