Manchester City are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign English defender Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace, as clubs accelerate negotiations late in the January transfer window. The 25-year-old center-back has attracted strong interest from the Premier League champions amid their bid to reinforce a defence affected by injuries.
According to multiple sources, including transfer insider reports, the discussions between Manchester City and Crystal Palace have reached an advanced stage, with a fee believed to be in the region of €20–25 million. While no official announcement has been made, all parties are said to be confident an agreement will be finalized soon.
Guéhi, who has been a standout performer for Palace over the past few seasons, is viewed as a long-term defensive solution by City as they strive to maintain their competitiveness on all fronts. His physical presence, aerial strength and tactical understanding have made him one of the most coveted defenders in English football this winter.
Crystal Palace’s manager has indicated that Guéhi will not be available for their upcoming Premier League fixture, suggesting that the transfer is nearing completion. Should the move go through, it marks a significant addition to Manchester City’s squad as they pursue Premier League glory and European success.
The potential transfer also underscores Manchester City’s ongoing strategy of strengthening key positions mid-season, with Guéhi expected to compete for a starting role and add depth to a back line that has faced its share of challenges this campaign.
