Serge: Barcelona are keeping a close eye on Gueye but they will face competition from Liverpool and Real Madrid

According to Sel Radio, Barcelona is paying close attention to Crystal Palace defender Gueye, but they will face competition from Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Since Inigo Martinez moved to Riyadh Victory in the summer, Flick's team has been looking for a reliable central defender to partner Kubasi. Christensen failed to get consistent playing opportunities due to injury, and Araujo's performance was also disturbing. At present, Eric Garcia usually plays with another academy player, but Barcelona's defense looks more fragile than last season.

Therefore, the club management is considering strengthening this position. Gueye, the main defender of the England national team, became one of their targets. In fact, he is one of the most sought-after centre-backs at the moment.

Alemany said: "In my opinion, he is an excellent central defender. He plays on the left, and although he is not a left-footed player, he can use his left foot well. I think he will be an excellent signing, but I think Liverpool is already ahead."

According to Lechner, Real Madrid is also paying attention to Guei, and they are also looking for a reliable central defender. Real Madrid are paying close attention to the futures of Konate and Upamecano, and between the two of them, Gueye's name has also been rumored: "He is one of the central defenders that top clubs want to bring in to strengthen the defense without having to pay a transfer fee."

Crystal Palace is going through one of the best periods in the club's history, winning the FA Cup and defeating Guardiola's Manchester City, and then beating Liverpool in the Community Shield. Guey is one of the key pillars of the team and he performs well on the defensive end.

Bojan said: "He will not rush into action and has good anticipation ability in both aerial and ground balls. Guey is good at controlling the ball and making wise choices, which is not common among England's central defenders."
