Gettin’ Guehi with it

[the count]

The latest update from the Bayern Space account is that representatives of Adam Wharton have told Bayern that there is already a personal agreement in place with a Premier League team. This is the same guy who broke the Wirtz to Liverpool story before it went mainstream.

Max Eberl recently travelled to Manchester to meet James Featherstone of Omnisports, the agent of Adam Wharton. Vincent Kompany has long admired the Crystal Palace midfielder, and inside Bayern he was considered a possible successor in midfield and a dream target with Leon Goretzka’s contract running down.

Bayern’s head of sport Max Eberl went as far as to present contractual terms, while Christoph Freund turned to his close friend Oliver Glasner, Wharton’s manager, who offered nothing but glowing praise for the player yet made it clear he did not want him to leave Crystal Palace. Bayern’s pitch was prepared carefully, but the outcome was already decided. Despite their efforts, no personal meeting with the player was granted, as the agency’s message remained firm. Adam Wharton currently does not favour a move to Germany and is already in personal agreement with another Premier League club. The club’s name was not disclosed to Bayern, but the message was that only Real Madrid or Barcelona could tempt him away from England.

The result is that Bayern’s leadership returned from Manchester with nothing more than polite rejection. The pattern is becoming undeniable, as England’s brightest talents look only to the Premier League or Spain’s giants, while Bayern’s name, once enough to command attention, now struggles even to enter the conversation.

There's also chatter that Bayern have approached Guehi too. Why not? Free agent !

We should’ve just paid up.

 

[Judge Jules]

Wasn't a question of that. When they didn't get a second new CB through the door, Glasner dug his heels in and the deal was off regardless.

 

[Bradley]

I predict Szobo at CB before January.

 

[MomoWASright]

Had we rocked up with full whack on 1st of August he’d be playing for us.

You mean Madrid at home.

 

[darkstarexodus]

I predict Szobo at CB before January.

He'll soon be the best CB in the world.

Apparently, he played wide left for Hungary. We all dream of a team of Szobo's.

He genuinely is an extremely talented and versatile player

Mac A, Szobo and Gravenberch - what a transfer window!

 

[Fabio]

Szob should be getting minutes at RW

Endo is not bad given the outlay. Ibiza Schmadtke is a genius.

Oliver Glasner has revealed the Crystal Palace captain, Marc Guéhi, has told the club he does not want to sign a new contract and will leave next year.

The England defender’s deal expires at the end of the season and it is understood that Guéhi has rejected all attempts to persuade him to prolong his stay in south London after leading Palace to their FA Cup triumph in May.

 

[Woland]

He's off to that Bayern Madrid

 

[Dreambeliever]

He’ll sign for us if we win the league.
