**Crystal Palace head coach Oliver Glasner says Man City can sign captain Marc Guehi during the January transfer window.**
Asked directly about the Cityzens’ interest in the defender, Glasner said a transfer will go ahead if the bid is high enough and [**Guehi**](https://mancitynews.com/man-city-transfer-news-marc-guehi-fans-2/) is keen on the move:
“I’m not naive. If a massive offer comes from City and Marc wants to do it, it will happen. If you’re just valuing sports, everyone in the club will say Marc has to stay. The chairman will tell you the same. But it’s not one-dimensional. If you see the financial situation, it’s very important.”
“If somebody comes, there will be a moment when the club says ‘now the financial issue is more important than the sports issue’.”
“There will be a threshold where the club has to say it will happen – as long as Marc says ‘I want to leave’, because the final decision is always with the player.”
How much would Man City need to pay?
------------------------------------
There are suggestions that Pep Guardiola’s side may have to pay above the £35m offer that Liverpool proposed in the summer.
That would be an exorbitant amount of money for Guehi, considering his contract expires at the end of the season, but a lot depends on how desperate City are to bring him in.
Are alternatives to Guehi being explored?
-----------------------------------------
Guardiola has already ruled out recalling Manuel Akanji and Vitor Reis from their loan spells at Inter Milan and Girona, respectively.
Max Alleyne has been brought back from Watford, but his lack of Premier League experience means a solution in the transfer market is still being considered.
At the moment, Guehi is the only name that has made its way out to the public, but Director of Football Hugo Viana is said to have a shortlist of options to strengthen the back four.
