"🚨💣 BREAKING: Marc Guehi to Manchester City, HERE WE GO! 💙Official proposal accepted by Crystal Palace right now - understand fee will be around £20m.Guehi has ACCEPTED move to #MCFC.Exclusive story, now confirmed. 🧨 pic.twitter.com/Vo4bKmyzCU- Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 16, 2026 This one will sting. The £20 million speculated is considerably less than the £35 million Liverpool was willing to pay. Plus the England international is Premier League proven and homegrown, two bonus qualities that many of our first team options lack."
"Given Jarrell Quansah's summer move to Bayer Leverkusen, Giovanni Leoni's season-ending ACL injury, Joe Gomez's spotty fitness record, and the up-and-down form of Ibrahima Konate - whose Liverpool contract expires after this season - Liverpool really could have used Guehi at center back. He doesn't always state it plainly, but Arne Slot has concerns about availability. This would have helped alleviate at least some of them."
Marc Guehi, a 25-year-old center back, will sign for Manchester City after Crystal Palace accepted a proposal reported at around £20 million. The fee is considerably lower than the roughly £35 million Liverpool had been willing to pay in the summer. Guehi is an England international who is Premier League proven and homegrown, qualities lacking among several Liverpool first-team options. Liverpool's defence has been weakened by Jarrell Quansah's exit, Giovanni Leoni's season-ending ACL, Joe Gomez's fitness issues, and Ibrahima Konate's inconsistent form and expiring contract. Liverpool fans have grown increasingly frustrated and eager for a major signing.
