Overview
- The 25-year-old signed a five-and-a-half-year contract running to 2031, with Palace understood to have a sell-on clause.
- An acute shortage at centre-back, with John Stones, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol injured, accelerated the transfer.
- Guehi is ineligible for this week’s Champions League group fixtures but could make his Premier League debut against Wolves on Saturday.
- Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner criticised the timing of the sale and has confirmed he will leave at the end of the season.
- This is City’s second January addition after Antoine Semenyo and lifts their reported 12‑month spend to about £446m, with Liverpool among prior suitors for Guehi.
