It looks like Manchester City mean business this January. After sealing the deal for Antoine Semenyo, they are now looking to beat Liverpool once again in a transfer race.
The Reds wanted to sign Semenyo along with Manchester United. But City swooped in to sign the Ghana international.
Something similar could be happening once again in this transfer window. Liverpool were ready to sign the player. But it looks like Manchester City could beat them once again.
According to Football Insider, City are preparing to submit an offer worth £20 million. The proposal would include an initial £15 million payment, with a further £5 million in add-ons.
Yes, Manchester City are ready to step up their pursuit of Marc Guehi, with reports suggesting a formal bid is now imminent.
City have quietly accelerated their interest in the Crystal Palace defender since the beginning of December.
Despite the growing speculation around his future, Guehi has continued to feature regularly for Crystal Palace, starting 20 Premier League matches this season under Oliver Glasner.
Now, Palace are understood to be open to a sale, preferring to cash in now rather than risk losing Guehi for nothing when his contract expires in June.
Meanwhile, City are believed to have already made progress on personal terms. The report claims that the Citizens have reached a verbal agreement with Guehi over a move to the Etihad Stadium.
The Reds were close to landing Guehi last summer in a deal valued at around £35 million, but the move collapsed late on deadline day after Palace failed to line up a replacement.
This time, there appears to be fewer obstacles. With City pushing ahead and Palace more open to negotiations, Guehi’s long-anticipated move away from Selhurst Park is edging closer to reality.
