Overview
- Manchester City completed the €26 million transfer of England center-back Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace on a contract running to 2031.
- The 25-year-old joins as immediate cover for an injury-hit defense, with Joško Gvardiol, Rúben Dias and John Stones currently sidelined.
- Spanish outlet Las Provincias reports Guéhi will earn about €346,000 per week plus bonuses, placing him among the Premier League’s best-paid defenders.
- Guéhi becomes City’s second January arrival after winger Antoine Semenyo, continuing a year of heavy spending highlighted by Transfermarkt’s €2.056 billion total under Guardiola since 2016.
- City remain second in the league seven points behind Arsenal, and the defender arrives after Liverpool explored a move for him last summer.
