Marc Guéhi completes £20m move to Manchester City from Crystal Palace

  • On January 19, 2026, Manchester City completed the signing of England defender Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace for an initial £20m after he arrived on Sunday for a medical and signed a five-and-a-half-year contract.
  • City opened talks earlier this month after injuries to Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias prompted urgency, but sources say they had admired Guehi and planned to sign him in summer.
  • England's international has 26 caps, captained Palace to FA Cup victory last May, made 61 tackles last season, ranks top 10 in Premier League defensive stats, and averages 7.3 long passes per 90 with 45.7% accuracy.
  • He is ineligible for Tuesday's Champions League tie but could make his debut against Wolves on Saturday, immediately boosting City's defence with Gvardiol out and Dias and John Stones absent.
  • The broader window saw City spend 445.9m on 15 players, with Guehi's £20m move viewed as a modest fee amid rival interest.
