Overview
- The 25-year-old England defender joins from Crystal Palace on a five-and-a-half-year contract, with an initial £20m fee and a sell-on clause for Palace.
- Guehi is not eligible for Manchester City’s remaining Champions League group fixtures and could make his league debut against Wolves.
- Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner condemned the timing of the sale, saying his squad felt abandoned after the captain was sold close to a match.
- City moved now with six months left on Guehi’s Palace deal after he declined a renewal, beating rival interest reported from several top clubs.
- Guehi hailed the move and called City the best club in England, as the signing helps cover injuries to John Stones, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol.
