Crystal Palace defender, Marc Guehi has reportedly priced himself out a potential move to Real Madrid next summer due to his wage and signing-on demands.
As it stands, Liverpool are leading the competition to sign the England international next summer, although Bayern Munich are still interested.
The 25-year-old’s contract expires in 2026 and he has chose not to extend, therefore it is now anticipated that he will remain in England.
The Eagles centre-back’s hefty salary and signing-on demands have made the transfer to Madrid “virtually impossible,” according to Spanish publication AS as reported by Goal, which suggests los Blancos may withdraw from the contest to sign him.

With just eight months remaining on his current deal, the 25-year-old is poised to depart Selhurst Park next summer after turning down several offers for a renewal.
Real Madrid, who were eager to add a long-term defensive reinforcement, have been priced out, but the Eagles have already acknowledged that their captain plans to leave.

According to sources close to Los Blancos, Guehi’s exploits in the Premier League and on the international scene attracted the club’s recruitment team, but they are unwilling to meet his financial demands.
According to reports, Guehi’s representatives had demanded terms that went beyond the club’s internal compensation structure, including a substantial pay increase and a signing bonus worth millions of pounds.
Liverpool and Bayern Munich are now the front-runners to sign the England defender with Real Madrid now shifting their focus elsewhere.
