The Premier League title race took a turn for the worse for City after they lost Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol to injuries during a recent 1-1 draw with Chelsea. With Arsenal currently holding a six-point lead at the top of the table, Guardiola is feeling the pressure to reinforce his backline before the January window closes.

Marc Guéhi has emerged as the primary target due to his proven Premier League experience and leadership qualities. However, Crystal Palace is expected to demand a fee upwards of £70 million, knowing that City is in a desperate position. Liverpool and Arsenal are also rumored to be monitoring the situation, though City is the frontrunner for his signature.

If the deal goes through, it could be the biggest move of the winter window. City fans are hopeful that Guéhi can provide the stability needed to close the gap on the Gunners, who have shown remarkable consistency so far this season.
