Marc Guehi: Manchester City agree deal with Crystal Palace for England centre-back

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was asked about the club’s interest in Guehi during his news conference on Friday before Saturday’s derby with Manchester United, but the Spaniard shut down the question with a firm “nothing to say”.

Earlier this month, Palace manager Oliver Glasner said the Eagles would sell Guehi in January if the asking price was met.

Guehi captained Palace to victory in the FA Cup final against City in May, plus a Community Shield win over Liverpool at the start of this season.

He looked set to join Arne Slot’s side on 1 September but the £35m deal fell through in the final hours of transfer deadline day, with Guehi having already started a medical.
