Manchester City F.C. has completed the signing of England defender Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace F.C. for an initial fee of £20 million. Guehi, 25, signed a five-and-a-half-year deal until 2031, becoming Manchester City F.C.'s second January signing after Antoine Semenyo. The transfer was prompted by an injury crisis at Manchester City F.C.'s center-back position. Marc Guéhi had been out of contract at the end of the season and was previously close to joining United Kingdom — Liverpool for £35 million. His departure from Crystal Palace F.C. has caused controversy, with manager Oliver Glasner expressing anger at the club's board. Marc Guéhi, a former Chelsea F.C. academy player, captained Crystal Palace F.C. to an FA Cup victory last season.
