Manchester City have emerged as contenders to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi this month, according to sources. The England centre-back has won 26 caps for his country and is out of contract at the end of the season.
Guehi's situation could become more complicated given Manchester United are also showing interest in signing him, with Liverpool also having had a £35m bid rejected last summer. Palace would consider selling Guehi this month to avoid losing their captain for nothing come the end of the season.
City's recruitment plans were thrown into chaos after defenders Josko Gvardiol and Ruben Dias suffered injuries against Chelsea on Sunday. John Stones is currently out injured, and City will wait to discover the full extent of these injuries before making a final decision on whether to proceed with their interest in Guehi.
This development adds to City's growing injury crisis in defence. City have recalled academy defender Max Alleyne from his loan spell at Championship side Watford and could make him available for Wednesday's Premier League game against Brighton.
Guehi, 25, has been one of Palace's most important players this season. He is known for his defensive prowess and ability to distribute the ball effectively from the back. His signing would be a significant boost for City's squad, particularly in light of their injury crisis.

think Manchester City getting Marc Guehi would be 
game changer 
they need someone strong like him now that City's defenders are out injured 
hopefully they can convince Palace to sell him this month before he gets a new offer 
but it's also good for City that Liverpool and Man United both want him, so they'll have to act fast 
! They really need some solid defenders right now and Guehi sounds like he'd be an amazing addition 
. I'm rooting for him to make the move, not just for City but also because he deserves a new challenge at this stage of his career 
. Palace would do well to sell him in Jan if they don't want him going out on a free transfer 
. Can't wait to see what happens! 
, I'm like "seriously?" Manchester City need another defender? They already have loads of them, it's crazy 
! And Marc Guehi is out of contract at the end of the season so he can just go anywhere for free, what's not to understand? 
Palace should've sold him last summer when Liverpool bid £35m, now they're getting taken advantage of 
. But hey, if City really need a centre-back, I guess it makes sense 
. Just hope they don't overpay for him or make the injury crisis worse 
.
and distributing the ball is his thing 
️ it would be a huge upgrade from what we have now 
especially with Stones out injured 
and Dias getting hurt on sunday 
max alleyne might not be ready yet tho 
Palace would be mad to sell him 2, but i guess u can never put a price on ur players right? 
So like, Manchester City r really interested in signin Marc Guehi this month? 
City's injury crisis in defence is gettin worse and worse 
. What do you guys think? Should Palace hold out for City or take the money and stick with what they've got?
so Manchester City are after Marc Guehi but then Manchester United and Liverpool jump into the mix too? 
it's like a chess match or something! and poor Palace, they don't want to lose their captain for free at the end of the season 
but does he fit in with City's playing style? 
what do you guys think, should City go all out for him or play it safe? 
They've got loads of defenders out injured right now and this guy would bring so much experience and skills to the table. He's already done a great job for Palace and I'm sure he could do the same for City. I feel bad for Palace though, they're gonna lose him at the end of the season and it'll be like losing a captain! 
! With all these injuries in defense, they're gonna need someone solid to anchor their backline 
I'm not sure if City are doing themselves any favors with all these injuries
