Man United pursue Guehi as Bayern eye alternative
Manchester United have made an official approach for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi as they look to strengthen their defence amid a busy summer of spending. Palace are understood to value Guehi at around £45m, and the deal would come as United have already spent heavily this window, approaching £200m after signing Benjamin Sesko for £74m and adding several other players. United are also linked with a goalkeeper or central midfielder, with reports naming Gianluigi Donnarumma and Carlos Baleba as targets.
FootballTransfers say United’s initial approach was exploratory to gauge Guehi’s price and willingness to join, while Bayern Munich have Dayot Upamecano earmarked as an alternative if the deal stalls. The links to Liverpool persist in the background, underscoring a crowded market for a defensively minded centre back with leadership qualities.
Key Takeaways
"For players of that calibre to leave on a free, it’s a problem for us unfortunately."
Steve Parish on the risk of losing Guehi for nothing.
"The money at every football club is finite at some point."
Parish on transfer spending and budgeting constraints.
"We all want to be better at football and we will try and do what we can."
Oliver Glasner on transfer activity.
"We will just have to see what happens. It needs a new contract or a conclusion of some kind."
Parish on Guehi's future at Palace.
The pursuit of Guehi shows how big clubs are testing the market for solid, homegrown leaders. Palace value him highly, and a sale would reshape the spine of their team, especially if a fee is paid. At the same time, United’s spending so far this summer continues to set the tone for how much the market is willing to absorb, pressuring other clubs to respond. The situation also reflects an ongoing balance between sporting ambition and financial limits that every Premier League club faces in a crowded market.
If Guehi moves, Palace must plan for life without their captain while managing the upside of a sizeable fee. If he stays, United may double down on other targets, and the market will still push prices higher for top defenders. This episode could set a template for how clubs trade leadership, value, and timing in a window that rewards boldness more than patience.
Highlights
- Price tags decide who lands Guehi
- The market is writing checks the game cannot cash
- Captains weigh loyalty against a headline move
- Budget limits still shape the summer
