"Manchester City are considering a move for Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi, with the south London club expected to demand around 40m for the defender who is out of contract in the close season. Palace's fee for their captain is 5m more than the price offered to Liverpool when the Merseyside club came close to signing him last summer. This reflects the disruption to Palace's season if Guehi does depart and their need to replace the 25-year-old."
"City's interest comes after Josko Gvardiol sustained a tibial fracture to his right leg in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. Ruben Dias was also injured in the game, though his prognosis is yet to emerge, and with John Stones already absent, Pep Guardiola is without three frontline centre-backs. As the physical robustness of a fourth, Nathan Ake, is also a concern, City have moved to target Guehi."

Palace's fee is 5m more than the price offered to Liverpool last summer and reflects the disruption to their season if Guehi departs and the need to replace the 25-year-old. City's interest follows Josko Gvardiol sustaining a tibial fracture; Ruben Dias was also injured and John Stones remains absent, leaving Pep Guardiola without three frontline centre-backs. Concerns over Nathan Ake's robustness prompted City to target Guehi. Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid also show interest. City stated Gvardiol will have surgery later this week.
