Manchester City will not meet Crystal Palace’s £35m asking price for Marc Guehi | OneFootball

Manchester City are determined to sign Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi in the winter transfer window. 

They are prepared to make an offer for the 25-year-old but will not meet Palace’s £35 million valuation, per journalist Alex Crook.  

City are desperate for defensive reinforcements this month after injuries to Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol. 

Guehi is one of the best options available. He is young, boasts exceptional ball-playing ability and excels in duels. 

The centre-back has started 20 Premier League matches this season, with five direct goal contributions to his name. 

Despite his quality, City are unwilling to spend £35m on a player who can be signed for nothing at the end of the season. 

Liverpool came close to signing Guehi last summer before Palace blocked the move on deadline day. 

The Reds are still keen on him, but a winter move is unlikely following their £446m summer spending spree. 

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are also interested in the England international. 

Guehi was disappointed his move to Anfield didn’t materialise, but he is relaxed about his current situation at Palace. 

He starts regularly for Palace, which gives him a strong chance of playing for England at the 2026 World Cup.
