Overview
- City have agreed an initial £20 million fee plus add-ons with Palace, with a five-and-a-half-year contract in place, according to ESPN sources.
- Guéhi is expected to undergo a medical on Sunday, while Guardiola said the move is close but not yet officially communicated to him by club executives.
- Injuries to Joško Gvardiol, Rúben Dias and John Stones accelerated the move, with Gvardiol facing a lengthy absence and Dias out for around a month.
- Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner criticised the timing of the sale, saying the team felt "abandoned completely" after learning of it a day before a defeat that extended their winless run to 10 games.
- Guéhi and recent signing Antoine Semenyo will not be eligible for Tuesday’s Champions League trip to Bodø/Glimt.
