Bayern Munich join race for Marc Guehi
Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl is hoping to hold talks with Marc Guehi in the new year, according to Sky Germany.
The Crystal Palace centre-back will have just six months remaining on his contract and will be free to talk to foreign clubs from that date.
Guehi has been a longstanding interest of several clubs, with his contract running down and a new deal with Crystal Palace seeming extremely unlikely.
Liverpool are expected to return for talks with the England defender, after they had a deadline day deal collapse in the summer.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are also said to be interested in bringing Guehi to Spain next season.
Bayern’s priority is to seal the contract renewal of France defender Dayot Upamecano, but they are also hopeful of signing Guehi on a free transfer, with the 25-year-old not likely to be short of options for next year.

Several clubs courting Leipzig’s Diomande
Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City are chasing RB Leipzig’s Ivorian winger Yan Diomande.
The 19-year-old has scored six goals in 13 Bundesliga matches this season and has caught the eye of several top European clubs.
According to Florian Plattenberg, there are "many more" clubs looking at signing Diomande, but there are no advanced talks with any clubs at this stage.
He has a contract that lasts until 2030 and has no release clause.

Plattenberg said: "Top clubs from England all have Yan Diomande in their sights: Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City and many more.
"Contrary to other reports, there are no concrete or advanced talks with any club.
"Contract until 2030 with no release clause. A move after the World Cup is possible.
"Leipzig are considering a fee of over €100 million. Incredible talent."
Palace the frontrunners for Bayern’s Boey
Crystal Palace are keen on signing Bayern Munich’s France right-back Sacha Boey in January.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Boey is expected to leave Bayern this January and Palace are keen to secure his services.
Daniel Munoz has been the first choice right-back throughout his time at Selhurst Park, but now must undergo knee surgery and is out for at least a month.
That leaves Nathaniel Clyne as Palace’s only natural right-back, and according to Romano, Oliver Glasner is hopeful of bringing in reinforcements in the January window.
Boey joined Bayern Munich from Turkish side Galatasaray in the summer of 2024 and has played 36 matches, scoring one goal.
Romano said: "Sacha Boey, expected to leave FC Bayern in January as clubs started calling for the right-back.
"Crystal Palace and more clubs are keen."
Arteta rules out Jesus January sale
Mikel Arteta has said he will not sanction the sale of Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus after he finally returned to action.
Jesus replaced Viktor Gyokeres in Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday in his first appearance since an ACL tear almost a year ago.
His return is a much-needed boost for Arteta, with an injury crisis hitting the defence and attack at various stages of the season, leaving Mikel Merino to reprise his role as a makeshift No. 9 as a result.

Arteta is confident Jesus has a lot to offer, and said he would not allow for him to be sold.
He said: "No, I don't consider that [selling Jesus], especially with the situation we have right now.
"I think Gabby has a lot to offer to the team and he has proved that in the first minutes he was available to play.
"He has put so much to be in this position again and now the focus is to be with us."
