Man City Push January Move for Marc Guehi as Rival Giants Target Summer Free

The Crystal Palace captain is out of contract in June, with reporting pointing to a preference to wait for a free transfer plus a possible late‑window compromise on fee.

Overview

  • Manchester City have held talks and are considering a January bid to cover injuries at centre‑back, with reporting indicating they are ready to match competing offers.
  • Fabrizio Romano and multiple outlets say Guehi’s long‑stated plan is to move in the summer on a free, with Liverpool described as “really pushing” and Arsenal attentive for a later move.
  • Bayern Munich are working on a summer approach, with Sky Germany reporting recent calls from Max Eberl and a prior meeting with the player’s agent.
  • Crystal Palace have been seeking more than £35m, though finance analyst Stefan Borson suggests a late offer in the £20–30m range — potentially around £25m — could be accepted to avoid losing him for nothing.
  • Manager Oliver Glasner says he expects Guehi to stay unless a massive January offer arrives, and last summer’s near‑£35m Liverpool deal collapsed when Palace opted to keep their captain.
