Manchester City have reached an agreement with Crystal Palace to sign Marc Guehi for a fee in the region of £20m.
The England international has agreed personal terms with the Citizens and will sign a long-term contract at the Etihad.
Palace have reluctantly accepted a fee of around £20m for Guehi, whose contract at the club was due to expire in the summer.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich had all hoped to sign the centre-back for free this summer, but City have moved to wrap up a deal in January.
Pep Guardiola’s interest in Guehi emerged as City deal with a wealth of defensive absences. Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and John Stones are all currently sidelined. At Newcastle in midweek, recalled loanee Max Alleyne partnered 21-year-old Abdukodir Khusanov.
John Stones’s deal is also set to expire in 2026 with doubts over an extension given his troubled fitness record.
