Defender Marc Guéhi is expected to complete a medical examination on Sunday as part of a potential transfer from Crystal Palace to Manchester City, sources have confirmed. The England international is nearing a move valued at approximately £20 million.
Guéhi, 26, has been a key figure at Crystal Palace since joining the club from Chelsea in 2021. Over multiple seasons at Selhurst Park, he established himself as a reliable presence in central defense, earning recognition for his composure on the ball, anticipation, and leadership qualities. His performances have also secured him call-ups to the England national team, underlining his rise in profile.
Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, are reportedly seeking to reinforce their defensive options amid a demanding schedule that includes domestic and European competitions. The addition of Guéhi would provide further depth alongside established defenders such as Rúben Dias, John Stones, and Nathan Aké.
Crystal Palace, managed by Oliver Glasner, may be impacted significantly by Guéhi’s departure. The club has relied heavily on his consistency at the back, and his exit is likely to prompt a search for a replacement during the ongoing transfer window. Despite the potential setback, Palace could benefit financially from the transfer, with funds potentially being reinvested into the squad.
Guéhi’s move would mark another step in his development following his early career at Chelsea, where he progressed through the youth system before making a name for himself during a loan spell at Swansea City in the Championship. His form at Swansea laid the groundwork for his move to Crystal Palace, where he became a regular Premier League starter.
As both clubs continue to work toward completing the transfer, final details, including personal terms and official confirmation, are expected to follow pending the results of Guéhi’s medical.
