A shortage of options in defence is pushing Manchester City to look for a new centre-back on the transfer market. Journalist Ben Jacobs, citing information from colleague Alex Crook, wrote that in recent days the Citizens have held talks with Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi. This was reported by euro-football.ru reports .
According to the source, Manchester City are ready to submit an official offer for the 25-year-old defender as early as January. The club hopes that during the transfer window Crystal Palace will lower their asking price to around £35 million (approximately €40 million).
The Eagles are not against selling Guehi so as not to lose him in the summer as a free agent. The high price demanded by the London club is linked to the need to find a достойный replacement for the player.
It is noted that Guehi is also on the radar of other clubs, but most of them are more inclined to complete the transfer in the summer.
