While the Premier League<\/a> champions are said to be unwilling to meet Palace’s \u00a335 million asking price, a bid of some kind may go through before the January window slams shut. Gu\u00e9hi, 25, is set to become a free agent at the end of the season and has been heavily linked with the likes of Liverpool<\/a> and Bayern Munich<\/a> in recent months. The defender is said to be “relaxed” about the prospect of seeing out his contract at Palace.<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n – Bayern have a history of signing the best talent in the Bundesliga, and Sky Germany has reported<\/a> they could rival Premier League sides this summer for RB Leipzig<\/a> winger Yan Diomande<\/strong><\/a>. The Ivory Coast<\/a> international is on Bayern’s shortlist, alongside FC Cologne<\/a> wonderkid Said El Mala<\/strong><\/a>. Bayern are reported to prioritise strengthening the left-wing position regardless of what happens to Serge Gnabry<\/strong><\/a>, who looks set to extend his deal at the club. Diomande, 19, could be tricky to prize away from Leipzig, as he is under contract at the club until 2030, having only joined last summer from Legan\u00e9s.<\/p>\n – Roma are pushing to sign Aston Villa<\/a> winger Donyell Malen<\/strong><\/a> in the final weeks of the transfer window, Sky Sports<\/a> reports. The Serie A<\/a> giants have “accelerated” their pursuit in recent days, although Atletico Madrid and Juventus<\/a> are also keen. Roma hope to strike an agreement soon, with the Dutchman potentially travelling to the Italian capital this week if all goes as planned. The proposal on the table would see Malen join on loan, with Roma having a future option to make the switch permanent.<\/p>\n – Al Ittihad<\/a> midfielder N’Golo Kant\u00e9<\/strong><\/a> is “very close” to agreeing terms with Fenerbah\u00e7e following a positive meeting with the club, Fabrizio Romano<\/a> reports. The France international is set to be out of contract this summer, after three seasons in the Saudi Pro League<\/a>. As per Romano, negotiations between Al Ittihad and Fenerbah\u00e7e over a transfer fee are ongoing, as the Saudi side do not want to lose Kant\u00e9 on a free.<\/p>\n – Manchester United<\/a> are not planning to bring back Marcus Rashford<\/a><\/strong> into the first-team squad, despite the departure of Ruben Amorim as head coach, TalkSPORT<\/a> has revealed. The 28-year-old is on loan at Barcelona<\/a>, where he has registered nine goal involvements in 18 LaLiga games. The Catalan giants are reportedly considering signing Rashford on a permanent deal this summer.<\/p>\n DONE DEALS<\/p>\n – Tottenham Hotspur completed the signing of Conor Gallagher<\/strong> from Atl\u00e9tico Madrid.

To a certain extent, he is a centre-back who exposes the limits of data. The eye test shows a right-footed defender who controls space, closes passing lanes early and often deals with danger before it turns into a stat, yet those preventative actions rarely register in most stat models. His role at Crystal Palace — disciplined and most often wide left in a back three — further mutes the “loud” numbers that tend to amplify more chaotic centre-backs who are constantly involved in tackles, blocks and last-ditch actions. Add in a passing profile built around efficiency rather than constant risk-taking and Gu\u00e9hi’s numbers can look ordinary. In practice, however, much of what sets him apart from the pack happens in the moments that stop situations from developing in the first place. Although Palace have used him extensively in a back-three, but he has performed well in a back-four for England. That change of formation has not impacted him massively, which matters for clubs who demand tactical flexibility from their centre-backs. At a cut-price due to his contract expiring in the summer, Gu\u00e9hi is a no-brainer signing for whoever can win the race to his signature.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n OTHER RUMORS 1:54<\/p>\n Why Xabi Alonso’s sacking is a ‘big surprise’ from Real Madrid<\/p>\n Alex Kirkland explains why Real Madrid’s timing to sack Xabi Alonso as manager has come by as a “big surprise” after losing the Supercopa final vs. Barcelona.<\/p>\n – Everton are exploring the idea of signing Fenerbah\u00e7e forward Youssef En-Nesyri<\/strong> this month.
