A Race Between Top Clubs
The 25-year-old England international has long been linked with a host of top European clubs.
Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea are all monitoring the situation, while Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have previously expressed interest.
However, City’s urgency and spending power could prove decisive.
Having already spent £65m on Antoine Semenyo this month, a move for Guehi would bring City’s net spend since January 2025 to £470m.
Guehi’s Situation at Palace
Guehi was close to a move to Liverpool on deadline day last summer before Palace boss Oliver Glasner blocked the transfer.
His current deal expires in June, meaning he can negotiate a pre-contract with overseas clubs. though a Premier League move is more likely.
Palace reportedly want £35m minimum but may be tempted to cash in rather than lose him for free in the summer.
