Overview
- City remain interested in signing the Crystal Palace captain this month, but reporting from Manchester indicates a deal is far from certain and alternative centre-backs are being assessed with Hugo Viana involved.
- Palace’s publicly reported valuation stands around £35m–£40m, while other coverage speculates the effective fee could drop below £30m depending on the package.
- One unconfirmed proposal involves Palace taking Oscar Bobb on loan from City to help bridge the gap in valuations, according to an insider account cited by Yahoo Sports.
- TEAMtalk reports City are prepared to offer Guehi up to £250,000 per week with a significant bonus to encourage an immediate move.
- City’s urgency follows injuries to Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias, while separate reports continue to suggest Guehi may prefer to run down his contract and move in the summer.
