Real Madrid are confident that they will sign Marc Guéhi when the Crystal Palace center back's contract ends in the summer, according to The Sun. Los Blancos believe that the 25-year-old favors a move to join fellow England internationals Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold, despite Bayern Munich joining them, Liverpool and Barcelona in the race to sign him as a free agent. The Reds are looking to make a big defensive signing in January, but Guéhi reportedly isn't interested in a mid-season move.
Liverpool may reportedly face a struggle to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton as Real Madrid are ready to go all out for his signature. The England international now seems to be emerging as Real's top target in the middle of the park, with manager Xabi Alonso eager to bring in that profile of player. This follows Madrid being beaten by Arsenal to the signing of Martin Zubimendi in the summer, according to AS, as cited and translated by Sport Witness.
Real Madrid are looking to improve their defensive unit with the signing of William Saliba from Arsenal. The 24-year-old is one of the best defenders in the Premier League, and his performances have attracted the attention of the outfit. Real Madrid are hoping to sign him at the end of the season. Saliba will enter the final year of his contract next season, and Real Madrid are hoping that he does not renew his contract with the Premier League giants.
Paris Saint-Germain are planning to offer winger Bradley Barcola a new contract ahead of the January transfer window, according to Le Parisien. The 23-year-old was linked with both Liverpool and Bayern Munich in the summer, and PSG are keen to ward off any potential approaches once the window reopens. The Parc des Princes hierarchy are expected to propose a two-year extension for Barcola that would secure his future until the summer of 2030.
