"Manchester City" has seriously accelerated negotiations for "Crystal Palace" central defender Mark Guehi.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to Fabrizio Romano, who released the information, "Manchester City" has sent a big contract offer to the England international in the last 12 hours. The club is also preparing to make an official appeal to "Crystal Palace".
Sources say that Pep Guardiola's team has identified Guehi as a key target to strengthen the defense line and intends to continue negotiations at full speed, taking into account the risks associated with injuries, as well as the need for depth in the squad.
The 25-year-old footballer has become one of Crystal Palace's key figures since joining from Chelsea in 2021 for £18 million (approximately AZN 40 million). He has made 33 appearances in all tournaments this season, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
Mark Guehi's composure in possession and leadership qualities make him a suitable candidate for "Manchester City's" possession-based game system. It is noted that this transfer attempt may accelerate further in the coming days against the background of the club's desire to strengthen the squad before the second half of the season.
