Manchester City Prepare January Bid for Crystal Palace Captain Marc Guehi

Crystal Palace have placed a price tag of more than £35 million on the defender this month.

Overview

  • City are weighing an opening offer that is expected to fall short of Palace’s valuation, according to reports citing talkSPORT.
  • Interest has accelerated after injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol, with City recalling Max Alleyne and leaning on Nathan Ake during a thin spell in defense.
  • Former executive Keith Wyness has proposed a cash-plus-player swap involving Ake, though this has been floated as opinion rather than an active negotiation.
  • Liverpool, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are among the clubs monitoring the situation, with reporting indicating Liverpool are not planning a January move despite past interest.
  • Coverage notes Guehi’s reported wage target of around £200,000 per week and suggests he is content to finish the season at Palace, while some analysts argue a £20–25m late-window bid could test the club’s resolve.
