"It is no secret that Barcelona will enter the market for a new defender in the summer of 2026, with the club monitoring multiple targets. One of them is Marc Guehi, the Crystal Palace defender whose contract at Selhurst Park expires at the end of the season. Guehi's status as a potential free agent makes him an ideal target for Barcelona, although things will be made difficult thanks to competition from arch-rivals Real Madrid. Man City also interested in Guehi"
"However, Real Madrid won't be the only club competing with Barcelona for the services of Marc Guehi, as Manchester City, too, are interested in his services. According to The Times, the Premier League giants are interested in Guehi as they eye a potential overhaul in the defensive unit in the summer. With John Stones, Manuel Akanji and Nathan Ake facing uncertain futures at Manchester City, the club are looking for a fresh face. Guehi fits the bill perfectly due to his status as a free agent, coupled with his vast experience in the Premier League."
Barcelona plans to sign a new defender in summer 2026 and has identified Marc Guehi as a target as his Crystal Palace contract expires. Guehi would be available as a free agent and brings nearly 150 Premier League appearances and 26 England caps. Real Madrid and Manchester City are also interested, with Manchester City seeking defensive reinforcements amid uncertainty over Stones, Akanji and Ake. Barcelona's strained finances reduce its ability to offer a lucrative contract, giving wealthy rivals an advantage. Missing Guehi could be damaging if other expected free-agent options prove unavailable.
