"According to Fabrizio Romano, Guehi is on his way to joining Manchester City. The Citizens have submitted an offer in the region of £20m for the defender, and Palace have accepted the offer. Romano adds that Guehi has also accepted the move, and the transfer is expected to go through. Guehi has been a key player for the Eagles, but it was sensible to sell him now rather than lose him for free."
"The news will come as a huge blow to Liverpool, who were close to signing him in the summer window, only for the deal to collapse in the 11th hour on deadline day. The Reds surprisingly did not make a move for him in January to secure a cut-price deal. Bayern did show interest in Guehi, especially when fear crept in that they might lose Dayot Upamecano for free next summer."
Marc Guehi has agreed a move to Manchester City after Crystal Palace accepted an offer reported to be around £20m. Palace elected to sell the 25-year-old rather than risk losing him for free at the end of the season. Liverpool came close to signing Guehi in the summer but the transfer collapsed on deadline day and they did not pursue him in January. Bayern Munich showed interest amid concerns over Dayot Upamecano, but recent developments and internal options reduced their urgency to sign Guehi immediately, making the sale less damaging for Bayern than for Liverpool.
