Man City Step Up Pursuit of Marc Guehi With Big-Money Offer as Palace Hold Firm

An expiring contract plus rival interest are driving reported attempts to bridge a valuation gap in the final weeks of the window.

Overview

  • Reports say Manchester City are preparing a package worth up to £250,000 per week with a substantial bonus to tempt Marc Guehi into a January move.
  • Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner has stated publicly that only a massive offer and a clear wish from the player to leave would prompt a sale.
  • Transfer reporting indicates Palace want £35–40 million for a January deal, while City are described as pushing for a lower fee closer to £20–25 million.
  • One insider claim suggests Palace are eyeing a loan for City winger Oscar Bobb to help reduce the fee, though no club has confirmed such an arrangement.
  • Guehi is widely reported to prefer waiting until summer to move on a free, and Pep Guardiola has said he does not know if City will complete further business this month.
