Manchester City are close to finalising the transfer of Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi, but what is attracting the most attention is the salary that the English centre-back is expected to receive at the Etihad.
According to recent reports, Guehi has already reached a verbal agreement on personal terms and is expected to sign a 5-and-a-half-year contract with the English champions.
With this contract, the 25-year-old will immediately be among the ten highest-paid players in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
It is reported that Marc Guehi’s salary will be around £300,000 per week, a figure that places him at the top of Manchester City’s financial hierarchy and reflects the club’s great confidence in his qualities and importance for the future.
As for the deal between the clubs, City and Crystal Palace have agreed in principle for an initial fee of around £20m, with bonuses that could take the total transfer value to close to £30m. Palace have accepted the offer, bearing in mind the risk of losing the player for free at the end of the contract.
