Barca on defender: Deco targets Marc Guéhi as priority signing

FC Barcelona has already defined its main objective for the upcoming winter transfer window. 

After a demanding run of matches, Hansi Flick welcomed the winter break but admitted the need to reinforce his squad, especially in central defense.

The long-term injury to Andreas Christensen, sidelined for around four months, has accelerated discussions with sporting director Deco, even as the club awaits the return of Ronald Araujo.

Limited by Financial Fair Play constraints, Barcelona must pursue affordable solutions. Several profiles remain under consideration, but Marc Guéhi stands out as Deco’s top priority. The Crystal Palace defender, whose contract expires next summer, can enter negotiations this winter despite his club’s reluctance to sell. With strong competition from major European clubs and defensive gaps to address, Barcelona views Guéhi as a strategic target for the months ahead.
