Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi is being linked with a move to Bayern Munich, with the Bundesliga champions reportedly weighing up a bid for the England and Côte d’Ivoire centre-back.

According to data compiled on 16 December 2025, the 25-year-old has been assigned a transfer probability of 45% for a switch from Selhurst Park to the Allianz Arena, underlining that discussions remain at the rumour stage rather than an advanced negotiation. Guéhi’s current market value is listed at €55.00m, a figure likely to form the baseline for any talks between Palace and Bayern should interest firm up.

The centre-back, who wears the number 6 shirt for Palace, has no publicly stated contract expiry date in the available data, leaving open the theoretical prospect of him running down his deal and eventually becoming a free agent if no agreement is reached over a transfer or extension. For now, he remains part of the Premier League side’s squad and is registered with Crystal Palace as his current club.

Born in Abidjan on 13 July 2000 and standing at 1.82m, Guéhi has developed into one of the most highly rated defenders outside the traditional English elite. A right-footed central defender, he progressed through Chelsea’s youth ranks — from Chelsea Youth to the U18s and U21s — before senior spells with Chelsea, loan moves at Swansea City in the English second tier, and then a permanent move to Crystal Palace in 2021.

His market value has risen sharply over the past few years, climbing from around €1.5m in late 2019 to €55.00m by December 2025, reflecting his consistent performances in the Premier League and earlier experience in the Championship and youth football. If a transfer to Bayern Munich does materialise, it would mark a significant step into the Bundesliga and could prove a defining moment in Guéhi’s career trajectory and wider reputation in European football.
