"It is no secret that Barcelona are on the hunt for defensive reinforcements, either in the ongoing January transfer window or in the coming summer. The club are determined to find replacements for Andreas Christensen and Inigo Martinez. But thanks to the sustained economic problems, the club are ideally looking for cost-effective options. That is perhaps why Barcelona have long been linked with a move for Marc Guehi."
"However, in a major development, it appears Barcelona have ruled out a move for Marc Guehi in the summer. This is according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who confirms that Barcelona indeed had a meeting with Guehi's agent. But the club have decided not to progress talks further. This comes in the midst of intense competition surrounding the signing of Guehi, who has been courted by Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid, among others."
Barcelona require defensive reinforcements after Andreas Christensen and Inigo Martinez exits, targeting signings in January or next summer. Financial constraints force the club to prioritise cost-effective options and potential free transfers. Marc Guehi was considered because his Crystal Palace contract expires at season's end, making him a potential free agent, but Barcelona met his agent and chose not to progress talks, effectively ruling him out. Strong interest from Manchester City, Liverpool and Real Madrid and Crystal Palace's high asking price limited Barcelona's ability to compete. Barcelona remain interested in alternatives such as Nico Schlotterbeck and Marcos Senesi, with Senesi offering free-agent appeal.
