Oliver Glasner changes tune about Marc Guehi transfer as Man City could force Liverpool's hand

Crystal Palace may prioritize a large financial offer for Marc Guéhi due to his contract expiry and Manchester City's defensive injuries, raising transfer possibilities this January.

  • Oliver Glasner admitted on Jan 7, 2026 that Marc Guéhi could move to Manchester City this month if Palace's valuation is met, with reports suggesting City may accelerate plans due to injuries.
  • Guéhi's contract situation explains Palace's risk as he will not renew, while Manchester City's defensive crisis includes Rúben Dias missing six weeks and Joško Gvardiol needing surgery.
  • He framed the decision as a threshold where money surpasses sporting continuity, citing Palace's prior resistance to a near-£35m move for Guéhi from Liverpool.
  • A sale above Palace's threshold would force Crystal Palace to prioritise finances over sport, and a mid-season swoop could weaken Palace while prompting Liverpool or others into action if Manchester City pursue Marc Guéhi this month.
  • With the window open until February 2, Pep Guardiola rules out a spending spree this month, complicating Manchester City's immediate transfer plans.
