Manchester City have agreed to sign England international Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in a deal reported to be worth £20 million, sources confirmed on Friday.
The transfer comes shortly after City secured midfielder Antoine Semenyo, as Pep Guardiola’s squad continues to strengthen ahead of the new season.
Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the deal, noting that Crystal Palace accepted City’s official proposal and that Guehi has personally approved the move. “Marc Guehi to Manchester City, here we go,” Romano tweeted, confirming that all parties are aligned.

Palace were thought to be demanding in the region of £40 million for their club captain despite the shortness of his existing contract but, having weighed up the prospect of losing him on a free transfer, have now opted to accept a bid.
