Manchester City are closing in on signing Marc Gu\u00e9hi from Crystal Palace. The centre-back\u2019s contract expires at the end of the season and Palace have accepted an offer of \u00a320m.<\/p>\n

Palace\u2019s manager, Oliver Glasner, said on Friday that the deal was in its final stages, on a day when he also revealed he would be leaving the club in the summer<\/a>. Gu\u00e9hi, he said, would not be involved in Palace\u2019s game at Sunderland on Saturday. \u201cI can\u2019t confirm a club, because it\u2019s still not done, but it\u2019s in the final stages,\u201d Glasner said. \u201cThe result is that Marc doesn\u2019t play tomorrow for us.\u201d He admitted the striker Jean-Philippe Mateta would also be allowed to leave for the right offer.<\/p>\n

Gu\u00e9hi almost joined Liverpool in the summer before Palace pulled out of the deal<\/a>. Personal terms are not thought to be an issue for the England international, who has said he would not extend his Palace deal.<\/p>\n

City have injuries in central defence. R\u00faben Dias is out with a hamstring injury, Josko Gvardiol has a tibial fracture and John Stones, who is unlikely to have his contract renewed in the summer, is out with a thigh problem. Pep Guardiola was forced to recall the 20-year-old Max Alleyne from a loan at Watford to help alleviate the shortage.<\/p>\n

Gu\u00e9hi\u2019s former club Chelsea will be due 20% of any fee, as part of the package that took him to Palace in 2021. Barcelona have held talks over signing Gu\u00e9hi and Bayern Munich expressed interest in getting him on a free but they have been usurped by City.<\/p>\n

Gu\u00e9hi is in line to be City\u2019s second signing of the window after Antoine Semenyo joined from Bournemouth<\/a> for an initial \u00a362.5m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City are closing in on signing Marc Gu\u00e9hi from Crystal Palace.
