Marc Guehi clears medical in Manchester City move
The England international Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace passed his medical in Manchester City, paving the way for a winter move to the Citizens.
Crystal Palace has agreed to sell Guehi in the current window, as his contract expires at the end of the season.
Fabrizio Romano, Europe’s transfer expert, said Guehi passed the medical successfully in Manchester City and is close to joining the Sky Blues.
Romano wrote on X: "Marc Guehi completed the medical in Manchester as a new Manchester City player".
He added: "The deal with Crystal Palace was completed two days ago, worth £20 million, with add-ons taking the total to £30 million".
He concluded: "Guehi will sign his contract with Manchester City in the coming hours". Punchline 1: City’s defence just got a new sharp shooter—though the only thing he’ll shoot is clean sheets. Punchline 2: If this deal were any smoother, they'd file it under art.
