Man City have \u2018taken advantage\u2019 of the doubt surrounding Arne Slot\u2019s future at Liverpool to sign Marc Guehi, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Guehi was set to sign for the Reds at the end of the summer transfer window before Crystal Palace pulled out of a deal last minute\u00a0with the centre-back in the middle of completing his medical<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Liverpool<\/strong><\/a>, as well as Arsenal, were keen on resurrecting their interest in Guehi in the summer as they eyed a free transfer \u2013 but Man City have now sealed a deal in January.<\/p>\n Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed earlier on Friday that their offer had been \u2018accepted\u2019 by Crystal Palace and that Guehi to Man City is \u2018here we go\u2019 done.<\/p>\n Romano wrote on X<\/strong><\/a>: \u2018Marc Guehi to Manchester City, HERE WE GO! Official proposal accepted by Crystal Palace right now \u2014 understand fee will be around \u00a320m. Guehi has ACCEPTED move to #MCFC. Exclusive story, now confirmed.\u2019<\/p>\n Another journalist, Ben Jacobs, added more detail later with the former CBS Sports reporter insisting that the total package will be worth around \u00a330m.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Big Weekend: Man United v Man City, Wolves, Watkins, Dyche, Real Madrid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Jacobs said on X: \u2018More on Marc Guehi\u2019s imminent move to Manchester City. Agreement in principle in place worth \u00a320m plus add-ons. Total package approaching \u00a330m. Palace also retain a sell-on.<\/p>\n \u2018Palace had asked for \u00a335m, but deal with bonuses not far off that number, and the decision was taken to sell now rather than lose Guehi on a free transfer. Guehi has already verbally agreed terms on a 5.5-year contract. He will become a top ten earner at Manchester City. Guehi will not play for Palace against Sunderland.\u2019<\/p>\n It is believed that Liverpool still had a good chance of signing Guehi \u2013 but a reliable account on X insisted they couldn\u2019t guarantee Slot\u2019s future when the Crystal Palace defender asked if the Dutchman would still be in charge next season.<\/p>\n The account wrote<\/a>: \u2018Exclusive. Marc Guehi asked @LFC if Arne Slot would be the manager next season. \u201cNo comment\u201d @ManCity have taken advantage of the situation at Liverpool. Twice with Marc Guehi & Antoine Semenyo.\u2019<\/p>\n The Liverpool Echo have revealed that the Reds resisted a late attempt to try and \u2018gazump\u2019 Man City for Guehi as they don\u2019t see it as the same \u2018market opportunity\u2019 that they did in September.<\/p>\n The report claims<\/a>: \u2018The ECHO understands Liverpool do not regard signing Guehi this month as a market opportunity compared to last September and this coming summer, and are thus unlikely to change their stance over resisting a late effort to gazump City.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE FROM F365\u2026<\/strong> Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, who also revealed he will be leaving Selhurst Park at the end of the season, confirmed that Guehi is on his way out.<\/p>\n Glasner told reporters in his press conference on Friday: \u201cLatest understanding, the deal with Marc is in the final stages. We can\u2019t confirm, but it is not done. The result is Marc doesn\u2019t play tomorrow for us.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the players want to move on a deal will happen. It looks like it has happened now.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone wanted Marc [Guehi] to stay forever. I talked to him, of course, it stays between us. Marc has shown it in the summer transfer window, shown it the whole autumn that he was 100% committed to the team and to Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n \u201cI wish him all the best for the rest of his career. He is still at the beginning of his great career. He is a fantastic guy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man City have \u2018taken advantage\u2019 of the doubt surrounding Arne Slot\u2019s future at Liverpool to sign Marc Guehi,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":700156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[1121,748,1925,393,4884,225,179,886,2697,12,101,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-700155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-arne-slot","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-crystal-palace","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-home-page","14":"tag-liverpool","15":"tag-manchester-city","16":"tag-marc-guehi","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-premier-league","19":"tag-uk","20":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115905488737449100","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=700155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/700155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/700156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=700155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=700155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=700155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
