Marc Guehi Next Club Odds: Man City Favourites To Sign Palace Captain
One of the most talked about stories in the January transfer window, Marc Guehi's future is still up in the air, although Manchester City are now firm favourites at 5/2 with most betting sites to sign him.
The Crystal Palace captain is out of contract this summer, meaning he can leave on a free transfer at the end of the season or agree pre-contract terms with overseas clubs from January.
Guehi has grown into a central figure at Selhurst Park and was instrumental in Palace’s historic FA Cup triumph last season, lifting the trophy as captain after a 1-0 win over Manchester City.
That success further highlighted his leadership credentials and boosted his stock among top-level clubs.
Still just 25, he combines Premier League experience with regular international football for England.
Some of Europe's elite clubs are being linked with a move for Guehi, and the latest odds reflect how open the race for his signature has become.
City Closing In?
Manchester City are clear favourites on betting apps to sign Guehi, driven by a defensive injury crisis that has seen key centre-backs sidelined this season.
Pep Guardiola’s side have identified Guehi as a solution to their defensive concerns and are reportedly in talks over a potential January move.
City’s ability to offer Champions League football and compete for major honours makes them an attractive destination.
Antoine Semenyo has already joined in the current transfer window, and Guehi could be next through the door at the Etihad.
Liverpool Ready To Reignite Guehi Pursuit
Liverpool remain in the running to sign Guehi at 10/1, having just failed with a late deadline day move for the Palace skipper in the summer.
The Reds have improved of late, but there are definitely still defensive frailties, with Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk not at their best.
Guehi would be a tremendous addition and could be key to Liverpool's attempts to get back into the title race.
They would probably prefer to leave signing the Crystal Palace man until the summer to avoid a transfer fee, but they may need to make a move now to stop City beating them to the punch.
Marc Guehi Next Club Odds:
Club | Odds | Betting Site |
Manchester City | 5/2 | |
Liverpool | 10/1 | |
Arsenal | 16/1 | |
Chelsea | 25/1 | |
Inter Milan | 25/1 | |
Real Madrid | 25/1 | |
Paris Saint-Germain | 25/1 | |
Bayern Munich | 25/1 | |
Manchester United | 33/1 |
Arsenal May Invest
Arsenal (16/1) appear poised to enter the race more assertively, with reports suggesting Mikel Arteta’s side are monitoring developments as they balance defensive depth with title ambitions.
The Gunners have strengthened at the back in recent windows, but Guehi could be seen as an upgrade capable of starting immediately.
A move to north London would give him a chance of winning the Premier League and an opportunity to test himself against Europe's best in the Champions League.
The Gunners are now clear at the top of the table, and Arteta could strengthen his squad again to get his team over the line.
Chelsea Return Unlikely
Guehi began his career as a youth with Chelsea but failed to make a first-team appearance before moving to Palace.
The club have invested heavily over the last few transfer windows, but they may not be done spending just yet.
Liam Rosenior is now at the helm after replacing Enzo Maresca, and the former Strasbourg boss will likely want to put his own stamp on the inconsistent side.
Chelsea, 25/1 in the betting, would offer Guehi a key role in the team, and he may feel like he has unfinished business at Stamford Bridge.
One roadblock could be the size of the squad, so they may have to sell before they buy.
Milan Rivals In The Mix
AC Milan and Inter Milan are both priced at 25/1, offering Guehi an intriguing Serie A option.
The fierce rivals are once again competing at the top end of Italian football and remain firmly in the Serie A title conversation.
AC have a clear English connection, with Fikayo Tomori a key figure in defence and Ruben Loftus-Cheek also part of the squad.
The more defensive Italian style of football would suit Guehi, but it looks like he may stay in England for now.
PSG And Real Madrid Among Elite Outsiders
PSG (25/1), Real Madrid (25/1) and Bayern Munich (25/1) are grouped as other long-shot contenders for Guehi’s signature, each offering unique appeal.
Bayern are once again dominating German football, and Guehi would be joining some familiar faces were he to join the Bundesliga champions.
Former Palace team-mate Michael Olise is starring at the club, while fellow England international Harry Kane is firing on all cylinders.
Real Madrid could be looking for defensive reinforcements in this window, and they would be hard for Guehi to turn down were they to make a move.
Elsewhere, managerless Manchester United are priced at 33/1 to make the Palace captain the first signing of the post-Ruben Amorim era.
