Barcelona are monitoring Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi as a potential reinforcement amid uncertainties in their backline.
Barcelona are beginning to outline its defensive options for the coming seasons. Guehi, Crystal Palace's centre-back, appears on Deco's agenda as a possible signing.
The departure of Inigo Martínez to Saudi Arabia has left the squad short in this area. In addition, Christensen's contractual situation adds a factor of uncertainty, as his contract expires on 30 June and there are no plans for renewal.
In England, it is claimed that Barca are closely monitoring the progress of Guehi. The player was very close to signing for Liverpool this summer, but negotiations between the two clubs broke down.
As reported by Sport, the disagreement has led to some discomfort for the defender, who is resolute in their decision not to extend their contract with Crystal Palace. His contract expires on 30 June 2026, which would make him a free agent when the time comes.
Barca will face stiff competition in the market for his services as, according to English media, both Real Madrid and Liverpool remain interested in the England international. The Reds could step up their efforts in the winter transfer window.
