Bayern Munich have added their name to the growing roster of European clubs vying for the signature of Marc Guehi.

The England defender's deadline day switch to Liverpool fell through at the eleventh hour when Crystal Palace decided to pull out.

This has paved the way for Europe's elite to swoop in and attempt to secure Guehi on a free transfer once his contract runs out next summer.

The German behemoth, Bayern Munich, is the latest club to monitor the situation surrounding the Palace skipper, who will be an enticing prospect as a free agent next summer.

Italian powerhouses Inter Milan and Juventus are also keen on Guehi, who will be cognizant that his status as a free agent could land him a more lucrative contract

Guehi made it clear earlier this summer that he would either join Liverpool or depart as a free agent when his contract with Palace expires next year.

This indicates he's not interested in negotiating a new deal, while Liverpool remains eager to snap him up as a free agent next summer

Liverpool had struck a deal, Guehi was undergoing a medical, and the transfer was nearing completion until Palace pulled the plug when chairman Steve Parish decided they hadn't secured enough reinforcements to keep manager Oliver Glasner satisfied.



Despite this setback, they remain undeterred in their pursuit of Guehi and hope to lure him to Anfield, despite this week's disappointment.

However, they are aware that they will face fierce competition from other top European clubs this summer.

Despite his disappointment at the failed deal, Guehi remains dedicated to giving his all for Palace for the remainder of the season, and he was seen laughing and smiling during England training at St George's Park this week.
