Talk of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi moving to Manchester City is becoming increasingly real. Journalist Florian Plettenberg, citing his sources, has revealed key figures for the deal and the plan for the coming days.
According to him, City will pay a guaranteed £26 million for the 25-year-old centre-back. In addition, the agreement is expected to include around £3 million in bonuses. That means the total fee could rise depending on various conditions being met.
One of the most interesting points is the player’s contract and salary. Plettenberg reports that Guehi’s annual pay, including bonuses, will be about £15.6 million before tax. This suggests the Cityzens see him not as a backup option, but as a key piece for their main plans.
Medical tests and the contract-signing process are also expected to be completed within the next two to four days. If everything goes to plan, fans may soon see an official announcement.
For context, Marc Guehi has been representing Crystal Palace since the 2021/2022 season. This season in the Premier League, he has played 20 matches, scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists.
In short, City are very close to strengthening their defence with another reliable name. The decisive step now is the medical and the final signatures on the paperwork. If that stage goes smoothly, a big stage in Manchester is ready for the new defender.
