Manchester City has officially announced the signing of Marc Guéhi from Crystal Palace. The England international arrives at the Etihad Stadium with immediate “starter status” and is expected to make his debut this Saturday against Wolves.
The Financial Breakdown In a strategic market move, City secured Guéhi for a fee of £20 million, taking advantage of his expiring contract situation at Selhurst Park. However, it is the contract terms that have sent shockwaves through the Premier League.
According to TalkSPORT, Guéhi will earn a staggering £300,000 per week, making him the second-highest earner in the squad, tied with Bernardo Silva and trailing only Erling Haaland (£525,000).
