Marc Guehi is reportedly prepared to see out his contract in order to secure a move to Barcelona. Crystal Palace's captain, who has a year remaining on his contract, is expected to leave the club. He has recently renewed his Ivorian passport, enhancing his appeal to LaLiga clubs due to the Cotonou Agreement. Although Premier League clubs such as Newcastle, Chelsea, and Tottenham have shown interest and submitted bids up to £70 million, which were rejected, Guehi appears to prefer a free transfer to a prominent Spanish club in 2026. Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are said to be keeping an eye on his development, interested in his potential availability as a non-EU player exempt under the Cotonou Agreement.
