Manchester City has officially acquired England center back Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace on a five-and-a-half-year contract, as confirmed by the Premier League club on Monday. This strategic move aims to bolster their squad in pursuit of closing the gap with league leaders Arsenal in the ongoing title race.
While the financial specifics of the transfer were not disclosed, British media outlets are reporting that the agreement for the 25-year-old international, who had only six months remaining on his contract with Palace, is valued at approximately £20 million (around $26.84 million).
Guehi’s signing comes at a crucial time for City, who are grappling with a defensive injury crisis affecting key players such as Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, and John Stones. His addition to the squad provides a much-needed solution in defense.
This transfer marks City’s second signing during the January window, following the recent acquisition of winger Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. As the team gears up for the decisive second half of the season, Guehi’s experience and skills could prove essential in strengthening their defensive line and enhancing their chances for success.
