Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed centre back Marc Guéhi will leave the club this month, with reports stating Manchester City have struck a deal for the England international.
It was widely expected that Guéhi would wait until his contract expired in the summer before leaving Palace—that was at least what Glasner predicted as recently as mid-December. That scenario would have set up an intriguing scramble for the centre back’s signature, with the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich battling Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City for the free agent.
