Manchester City's major transfer is announced

Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Gueye could continue his career at Manchester City, The Times reports.

 According to the source, City's management views the 25-year-old England international as one of the main options to strengthen the defensive line.

After a failed summer move to Liverpool, Gueye decided not to extend his contract with the London club, which was due to expire on June 30, 2026. The player is determined to move and City have been monitoring his progress for some time.

The club are preparing for a major overhaul of their defence, with Gehi seen as a long-term option. However, Crystal Palace are not ruling out selling the defender this winter to avoid him leaving on a free transfer, with several top clubs interested.

The Englishman has scored two goals and provided three assists in 25 appearances this season. Transfermarkt.com estimates Gueye's transfer value at €55 million.
