However, he may be willing to reject a transfer to all three in the hope of landing a “dream” LaLiga move. Both Real and Barcelona are keeping tabs on his progress, as the Spanish giants eye long-term defensive reinforcements. Guéhi has been a regular in the Palace defence since he joined the club in 2021 from Chelsea in an £18 million deal, and he has won 23 senior England caps..
