Marc Guéhi has become Manchester City’s top defensive priority as the Premier League champions react swiftly to their growing problems at the back. Second in the league and weakened by a series of injuries, Pep Guardiola’s side decided to act decisively this winter.
After investing €75 million in Antoine Semenyo, a move already delivering results, the Citizens have now shifted their focus to defense. With Josko Gvardiol ruled out for the season, Ruben Dias sidelined, and John Stones unavailable, City have accelerated their pursuit of the Crystal Palace captain.
Under contract until 2026, Guéhi is one of the most sought-after defenders in England, with Arsenal and Liverpool also monitoring his situation. However, Manchester City appear determined to move faster than their rivals. Reports indicate that a significant contract offer has already been submitted to the 25-year-old, while an initial bid of around €35 million is being prepared for Crystal Palace.
According to Sky Germany, an agreement in principle with the player is already in place, highlighting City’s intent to secure the deal quickly and reinforce their defense without delay.
