Overview
- Pep Guardiola said the deal is close, with the 25-year-old in Manchester on Sunday for a medical after agreeing personal terms.
- City are understood to be paying about £20m, with reports of a five-and-a-half-year contract and wages around £300,000 per week.
- The pursuit accelerated as City were without John Stones, Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol, leading to recent starts for Max Alleyne and Abdukodir Khusanov.
- Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner criticised the timing of the sale, saying he was informed shortly before a match and omitted Guehi from the squad.
- With Guehi set to join City, Liverpool have turned to alternatives such as Nico Schlotterbeck and Alessandro Bastoni, according to local reports.
