Mark Guehi: Manchester City appears as a contender to sign the Crystal Palace defender

The contract of Guehi, who played 26 international matches for the England national team, expires this summer.

He was expected to leave Selhurst Park as a free agent at the end of the season, but that could now change given City’s injury problems.

Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are among the European clubs that have shown interest in signing the defender on a free transfer, with regulations meaning Guehi could sign a pre-agreement with an overseas club from this month.

Guehi came close to joining Liverpool for a fee of £35m last summer, but Palace canceled the deal during the final hours of the deadline.

Anfield remain a keen interest in Guehi and it now remains to be seen if they are ready to submit their plans to sign the player this summer.

Both City and Liverpool are also interested in signing Guehi on a free transfer at the end of the season, and it is understood that Palace will consider selling the defender this month to avoid the scenario of losing their captain for nothing at the end of the season.
