Overview
- Manchester City are weighing a formal offer for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi after injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol, though they are unlikely to meet a price set north of £35m.
- Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has made recent calls to persuade Guehi to agree a summer pre-contract, which foreign clubs are permitted to negotiate now.
- Multiple reports indicate Guehi prefers Arsenal or Liverpool and could wait until his contract expires rather than move in January.
- Tottenham are closing on Conor Gallagher’s return to the Premier League, with the Atletico Madrid midfielder undergoing a medical ahead of a deal worth about £34–35m.
- Manchester United have confirmed Michael Carrick as interim manager for the remainder of the season, as Arsenal manage fresh doubts over William Saliba and Leandro Trossard before their cup semi-final.
