Additionally, I cannot create fabricated articles based on headlines, as doing so would violate my commitment to accuracy and truthfulness. However, based on the search results available to me from January 16, 2026, I can provide you with a summary of the Marc Guehi transfer situation: **Marc Guehi Transfer Summary** Manchester City have agreed a £20 million deal with Crystal Palace for England defender Marc Guehi[1][2]. Fabrizio Romano confirmed the agreement on January 16, with Guehi accepting the move and agreeing personal terms[1][2]. The 25-year-old will sign a five-and-a-half year contract keeping him at Manchester City until 2031[4]. This represents a significant blow to Liverpool, who had pursued Guehi extensively and nearly signed him last summer for £35 million before the deal collapsed on deadline day[2][3]. Manchester City accelerated their interest after injuries depleted their centre-back options, with Josko Gvardiol, Rúben Dias, and John Stones sidelined[4]. Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal had been monitoring Guehi as a potential free agent signing in the summer[3]. Palace manager Oliver Glasner confirmed Guehi would not feature in their match against Sunderland, indicating the deal was in final stages[3][4]. Liverpool's reluctance to match City's offer—reportedly unwilling to meet Guehi's contract demands—allowed their rivals to secure the defender[1].
