MARC GUEHI SIGNS SIX-YEAR MANCHESTER CITY DEAL FOLLOWING SHOCK CRYSTAL PALACE EXIT
Marc Guehi has officially joined Manchester City for £20m. Discover how the former Palace captain solves Pep's injury crisis.
Marc Guehi has officially joined Manchester City, signing from Crystal Palace in a £20 million deal. The England defender is locked in at City until 2031 and jumps straight into a backline that’s been hammered by injuries—Pep Guardiola’s side lost Josko Gvardiol for the rest of the season, and they’re still missing Ruben Dias and John Stones.
The city put out a statement welcoming Guehi, calling the 25-year-old a big addition and confirming he’s signed a five-and-a-half-year contract. Guehi’s journey started at Chelsea. After a standout loan at Swansea City, where he helped them reach the Championship play-off final in 2020-21, he made the switch to Crystal Palace.
This past summer at EURO 2024, Guehi was one of England’s top performers as they made it all the way to the final. Palace handed him the captain’s armband for the 2024-25 season, and he wasted no time making history—he led them to their first-ever major trophy and European qualification by lifting the FA Cup against City last May. A few months later, Palace beat Liverpool at Wembley to win the Community Shield. All told, Guehi played 188 games and scored 11 goals for Palace.
He’s City’s second signing of this transfer window, following Antoine Semenyo’s arrival from Bournemouth, bringing the club’s January spend to £85 million.
Speaking after the move, Guehi said, “I’m really happy and incredibly proud to be a Manchester City player. This feels like the payoff for all the work I’ve put in over the years. I’m now at the best club in England, surrounded by an unbelievable squad. It feels good to say that. I want to grow as both a player and a person, and I know this is the place for it. Football’s given me so much, and to keep developing here is special for my family. I can’t wait to get started—meet my teammates, train hard, learn what the manager wants, and show the fans what I’m about.”
The city’s director of football, Hugo Viana, couldn’t hide his excitement either: “Marc’s been one of the top defenders in England for a while, so we’re thrilled to have him. He’s only 25 but already a leader and a true professional, always looking to get better. He’s strong, smart, and brings tons of energy every game. We’re lucky he chose us. Marc’s coming into his prime, and I think every City fan is eager to see what he can do in sky blue.”
There was nearly a twist last summer—Guehi almost joined Liverpool, but Palace blocked the move at the last minute. Now he joins a City squad still fighting for the Premier League title, sitting seven points behind Arsenal. They’re also on the brink of another Carabao Cup final after a 2-0 first-leg win over Newcastle, and they’re still in the FA Cup. Guehi can’t play in City’s Champions League games against Bodo/Glimt and Galatasaray, but if City makes the knockouts, he’ll be eligible.
Guehi’s City debut should come at home against Wolves on Saturday. He’s ready for it. “This squad has so much experience—guys who’ve played at the top and won everything. There are also some really exciting young players coming through. With Antoine [Semenyo] joining, who’s already proven himself in the Premier League, it just makes the team even stronger. I want to come in, do my part, be one of the lads, and help us get even better.”
TRANSFER SHOCKER: JAMES TRAFFORD REACTS TO GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA’S SUDDEN DEADLINE DAY ARRIVAL
James Trafford opens up on losing his Man City spot to Donnarumma. Get the latest on his England World Cup hopes and future goals.
James Trafford says he was pretty surprised when Manchester City brought in Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Trafford had just come back to City for £27 million after turning down Newcastle, and it looked like he’d finally landed the number one spot, especially with Ederson on his way out. Pep Guardiola seemed ready to trust him long-term.
But then things shifted. Trafford started the first three league games, but on deadline day, City snapped up Donnarumma from PSG. Since then, the Italian’s been the first choice, and Trafford’s mostly found himself playing in the domestic cups.
“I didn’t see it coming, but that’s football,” Trafford said. “Stuff happens. You keep working hard, and when you get the chance to play, you give it everything.”
He’s still in the early days of a five-year contract, less than a year in, but with the way things are, Trafford doesn’t know what’s next.
“I’m just taking it day by day, working hard, and whatever happens, happens,” he said after playing in City’s FA Cup win over Salford. “I’ve got a contract, but I don’t know what next season brings. All I can do is keep trying to get better.”
Not playing regularly could hurt his shot at making England’s squad for the World Cup, and Trafford knows it.
“Everyone knows my situation,” he said. “When I play, I’ve just got to play as well as I can.”
He insists there’s no friction with Donnarumma. “He’s a great guy, honestly. We both train hard and push ourselves. He’s already had a fantastic career and sets really high standards.”
Some people struggle with setbacks like this, but Trafford just gets on with it. “I try as hard as I can and focus on what I can control.”
On the bright side, he’s been part of City’s run to the Carabao Cup final, and, unless something goes wrong, he’ll get his chance at Wembley against Arsenal next month.
“That’ll be a great game,” he said. “All I can do is play my part, help the team, and stick to the plan.”
LEGEND STATUS: ERLING HAALAND EQUALS COLIN BELL’S GOAL RECORD IN FULHAM STROLL TODAY
Erling Haaland equals Colin Bell's scoring record as Man City beat Fulham 3-0. Read how Pep’s side closed the gap on Arsenal.
Erling Haaland climbed to joint-fourth on Manchester City’s all-time scoring chart, tying with Colin Bell, as Pep Guardiola’s team brushed aside Fulham 3-0 and closed the gap on Arsenal.
Haaland’s 153rd goal for City came in a match that felt easy for the home side. They barely broke a sweat at the Etihad on Wednesday, cutting Arsenal’s Premier League lead to just three points.
Antoine Semenyo struck first, keeping his hot streak alive, and Nico O’Reilly added another in a match that was basically one-way traffic, with rain pouring down all night.
City did all their damage before halftime. Job done, Haaland didn’t even bother coming out for the second half.
After struggling for a bit, Haaland seemed to snap back into form with a clutch penalty winner at Liverpool on Sunday. Maybe that’s the spark he needed.
Matching Bell’s tally is no small feat—especially considering Haaland’s done it in just 183 games, while Bell had 492.
Honestly, this game was a walk in the park for City. In the last meeting at Craven Cottage, City led 5-1 after 57 minutes but almost let Fulham back in, scraping by 5-4. This time, there wasn’t even a hint of drama.
Fulham made it easy, coughing up possession over and over and giving City every chance to attack.
You could tell a goal was coming. Phil Foden, starting after a spell on the bench, nearly scored twice early on. O’Reilly wasn’t far off either.
The breakthrough came 24 minutes in. Matheus Nunes whipped in a cross from the right, Haaland nodded it down, and Semenyo slid in to poke it past Bernd Leno.
That was Semenyo’s fifth goal in eight games for City, and his third against Fulham this season; he’d already scored twice against them for Bournemouth back in October.
Fulham did get a sniff at goal when Harry Wilson forced a save from Gianluigi Donnarumma, but City hit right back. Haaland got clipped by Joachim Andersen on a counter, but Semenyo kept going and slipped in O’Reilly, who coolly chipped Leno for 2-0.
City’s third came after Fulham gave the ball away yet again. Rayan Ait-Nouri found Foden, Foden passed to Haaland at the edge of the box, and Haaland buried it in the bottom corner for his first league goal from open play since December.
There was a quick VAR check for a possible penalty, with Semenyo claiming his hair got pulled, but nothing came of it.
City eased off after the break. Fulham tried to respond, and Wilson had a lively run, but it fizzled out.
Even with City playing in second gear, Fulham couldn’t get anything going.
Foden tried his luck from a distance but didn’t really trouble Leno, and Josh King forced a late save from Donnarumma, but that was about it.
