"Manchester City are closing in on signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. The centre-back's contract expires at the end of the season and Palace are open to selling for about 40m. The England international almost joined Liverpool in the summer before Palace pulled out of the deal. It is understood Guehi is keen on the move to City."
"Talks should progress over the coming days and personal terms are not thought to be an issue for a player who has said he will not extend his Palace deal. City have injuries in central defence. Ruben Dias is out with a hamstring injury, Josko Gvardiol has a tibial fracture and John Stones, who is unlikely to have his contract renewed in the summer, is out with a thigh problem."
"Guehi's former club Chelsea will be due 20% of any fee, as part of the package that took him to Palace in 2021. Barcelona have held talks over signing Guehi and Bayern Munich expressed interest in getting him on a free but they have been usurped by City. Guehi would be City's second signing of the window after Antoine Semenyo joined from Bournemouth for an initial 62.5m."
Manchester City are close to signing Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace for about 40m as his contract expires at the end of the season. Palace are open to selling after the England international indicated he will not extend his contract. Guehi nearly joined Liverpool in the summer before Palace pulled out, and he is understood to be keen on moving to City. Talks are expected to progress in the coming days and personal terms are not thought to be an issue. City face central-defence injuries to Ruben Dias (hamstring), Josko Gvardiol (tibial fracture) and John Stones (thigh), prompting a recall of Max Alleyne from loan. Chelsea are due 20% of any fee; Barcelona and Bayern had shown interest. Guehi would be City's second signing after Antoine Semenyo.
