High Salary Demands Prompt Catalans to Shift Focus to Other Top Targets for Reinforcing Defense
Barcelona has pulled out of the race to sign England defender Marc Guéhi this winter, ending weeks of discussions with the player’s representatives. According to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, the club has decided to abandon the move after failing to reach an agreement over the center-back’s salary expectations.
Despite Guéhi being available on a free transfer at the end of the season, Barcelona’s hierarchy deemed his wage demands too high to meet under the club’s current financial constraints. The breakdown in talks means the Catalan side will now look elsewhere to bolster their backline.
Barcelona’s renewed focus is reported to be on RB Leipzig’s Josko Gvardiol and Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni, both seen as long-term defensive pillars. The shift reflects the club’s ongoing effort to balance ambitious recruitment with prudent financial management.
