Manchester City were already said to be involved in the race for the signature of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, but their interest was tied to the summer of 2026 when his contract expires, rather than the January transfer window. Now, however, according to multiple sources, injuries to their defensive department have prompted internal discussions at the Etihad, with the possibility of sending a concrete offer to tempt Palace into selling mid-season.
If they do, it remains to be seen if their offer meets Palace’s demand, and at this point, that doesn’t seem likely. Interestingly enough, Palace now want more than the £35million for which they had agreed to sell Guehi to Liverpool on Deadline Day last summer, before pulling out of the deal at the eleventh hour. And City apparently aren’t prepared to pay even that much.
Meanwhile, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich all remain interested in the 25-year-old centre-back. Barcelona are believed to have made contact with his representatives too, before deciding not to proceed with the talks.
