However, Dembélé, after winning the prestigious individual prize back in September, is looking to renegotiate his current deal with <em>Les Parisiens. </em></p><p>His entourage, <strong>L’Équipe </strong>understands, are asking for a significant increase in salary, due to his performances and, of course, his new status as the best player in the world. PSG are open to the idea and willing to increase his salary, but not to the levels of Neymar’s contract, or that signed by Lionel Messi when he joined from Barcelona. Those mega deals are something that PSG have looked to put in the past; the European champions will not break the bank.</p><p>However, because of the new sporting strategy instilled by Luís Campos, talks between PSG and Dembélé could be tense over the coming weeks. </p><p><a href="https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/#google_vignette">GFFN</a> | Luke Entwistle</p>)

Ibrahima Konate, Dayot Upamecano and Marc Guehi are all on the list as players that could be brought in as free agents, but in the case of the latter, acquiring his services will not be easy.</p><p>It’s no secret that <a href="https://www.football-espana.net/2025/10/10/real-madrid-eye-bargain-move-marc-guehi">Real Madrid hold an interest in Guehi</a>, who will almost certainly leave Crystal Palace next summer when his current contract expires. However, there are also <a href="https://www.football-espana.net/2025/09/16/real-madrid-and-barcelona-among-8-clubs-interested-in-free-agent-central-defender">many other clubs in the race,</a> including Barcelona and Liverpool.</p><p>Liverpool almost signed Guehi during the 2025 summer transfer window, before Crystal Palace cancelled the deal after failing to secure a replacement. They will be one of the leading contenders in 2026, and as per The Athletic (via <a href="https://as.com/futbol/internacional/el-liverpool-hace-un-madrid-f202510-n/">Diario AS</a>), they have decided to take their chances of beating the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona to the England international’s signature.</p><img height="2379" src="https://media.zenfs.com/en/football_espana_articles_993/f02a483074e8386d4d4d1a38fce35e4f" width="3526" data-uuid="aa8abb1e-a66f-3170-a577-d018aa030422"><p>Image via Tom Dulat/Getty Images</p><p>Liverpool would have scope to move for Guehi during the winter transfer window, given that summer signing Geovanni Leoni is out long-term with an ACL injury. However, the reigning Premier League champions have decided that they will only sign him as a free agent when he leaves Crystal Palace.</p><h2>Real Madrid, Barcelona have key advantage over Liverpool</h2><p>This is a bold strategy from Liverpool, who cannot officially open talks with Guehi until one month before his contract expires, as per English FA rules. On the other hand, the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich are able to approach the defender from January, at which point they are able to offer a pre-contract.</p><p>It will be very interesting to see how the situation with Guehi plays out over the coming months. He would be a fantastic signing for Real Madrid, who are expected to part ways with Antonio Rudiger and/or David Alaba next summer.</p>)
