Crystal Palace Captain Tops Manchester City’s Centre-Back Shortlist.

Marc Guéhi

Manchester City have identified Marc Guéhi as a top transfer priority as the club prepares for a significant defensive overhaul ahead of next summer’s transfer window.

The Crystal Palace captain has impressed with his leadership, composure, and consistency in the Premier League, making him one of the most sought-after English defenders in the division. City view Guéhi as an ideal long-term solution as they look to refresh an ageing backline.

With several defensive changes expected at the Etihad, Guéhi’s ball-playing ability, tactical intelligence, and experience at the highest level align closely with Pep Guardiola’s system, placing him firmly at the top of City’s shortlist.
