The transaction went into the medical stage and fees were agreed. However, Crystal Palace was supported for failing to find a suitable alternative.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Man_City_enters_the_race_to_sign_Mark_Guech\"><\/span>Man City enters the race to sign Mark Guech<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>According to Football Insider, City views Gahee as the best target and is one of the clear candidates for his service. They may pursue a move when Gu\u00e9hi becomes available for free next summer, or they may try to attack bargain deals before.<\/p>\n<p>Gehi, who had been in the palace since 2021, became the focus of their defense and became captain. His performance won him regular calls to England.<\/p>\n<p>If the city succeeds in signing Gehi, it could significantly strengthen their defense. They had enough defensive talent, but stability at centre-back means their team still needs it despite the likes of the John Stones and Reuben Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>Also, competing with Liverpool for players signals about ambition, and timing and negotiation are important in the fight for the addition of elite defense.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_next_for_Marc_Guehi\"><\/span>What&#8217;s next for Marc Guehi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It all depends on when both the city and Liverpool make their moves. Ideally, both agree to a deal with the defender in January and wait for free signing until the summer transfer period.<\/p>\n<p>However, if one of them acts cleverly in the winter transfer window, they can steal players ahead of their Premier League rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Gu\u00e9hi is one of the most consistent performers, not just for the Premier League in his position, but also for the England national team whenever he is given the opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Source: Man City will become the main candidate for signing players offered to Liverpool<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is Liverpool manager Hags Arne Slot.
