Man City Step Up January Push for Marc Guehi as Palace Hold Out for 'Massive' Fee

City’s injuries create urgency for a deal at Palace’s ‘massive fee’ threshold.

Overview

  • Fabrizio Romano reports Manchester City are actively trying to sign Guehi this month and believe a club-to-club agreement with Crystal Palace is achievable.
  • Oliver Glasner says Palace would only sanction a sale for a “massive” offer, with multiple reports placing the threshold in excess of £35m.
  • Football Insider has claimed City were prepared to offer around £20m, a figure described as unlikely to persuade Palace to sell.
  • Guehi is out of contract in the summer and, according to reporting from TalkSPORT and others, is inclined to wait for free-agency options unless a major January bid and terms change his stance.
  • Bookmakers list City as favourites and have shortened Arsenal’s price, while Liverpool, Bayern and other European clubs monitor the situation and can discuss pre-contracts.
