Man City Push to Sign Palace Captain Marc Guéhi in January as Player Favors Summer Exit

Injuries at centre-back have intensified City's pursuit despite Palace signalling only “massive money” would prompt a sale.

Overview

  • City are continuing to press for a January deal for the England international, with internal discussions ongoing despite Pep Guardiola playing down winter business.
  • Reporting from The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano indicates Guéhi would prefer to wait for a free transfer in the summer, creating a key obstacle to a mid-season move.
  • Let Me Talk podcast claims Guéhi favours Liverpool over Manchester City, while Liverpool have long tracked him as a potential long-term defensive addition.
  • Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has suggested Guéhi will stay unless a huge offer arrives, though outside voices note the club could consider a sale to avoid losing him for nothing.
  • Injuries to Joško Gvardiol and Rúben Dias have left City short at centre-back, and rivals such as Arsenal are monitoring the situation with wider European interest expected to grow by summer.
