Barca’s Free-Transfer Follies: Guehi Link Sparks Summer Sparks
25 December 2025
Transfer chatter around Guehi
Marc Guehi, Crystal Palace's defender, has been linked with a move to Barcelona as the summer window opens.
The 25-year-old, whose deal runs until 2026 with Palace, is at the center of speculation after Barcelona reportedly held talks with Guehi's representatives.
Updates on negotiations and interest
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona officials already met with Guehi's camp, though financial disagreements have cooled the pace of negotiations.
Palace are considering the prospect of selling him for free next summer, especially after rejecting a 40 million euro bid in the previous window.
On the other side, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are both ready to push sizable bids to land the England international defender.
Guehi himself would rather not stall the move and could seal a preliminary agreement with his next club as soon as next month. And if Barca get him for free, it's the only time 'free' actually feels like a bargain.
Punchline: If it's free, Barca will probably still need to negotiate with the coffee budget to cover the press conference snacks.
