The Citizens have announced the arrival of Guehi from Crystal Palace, with the England international signing a contract until 2031 with Pep Guardiola’s side.
City had targeted Guehi due to a number of defensive injuries. Ruben Dias is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, while John Stones and Josko Gvardiol are also in the treatment room.
The 25-year-old has arrived for a fee of £20 million plus add-ons with his contract expiring in the summer.
Guehi came close to a move to Liverpool last summer when a deal collapsed on deadline day. However, the centre-back has no regrets about that failed transfer and insists he has now joined the Premier League’s top team.
“I am very happy and incredibly proud to be a Manchester City player,” Guehi said at his unveiling.
“This move feels like the culmination of all the hard work I’ve put into my career. I’m now playing for the best club in England and part of an incredible squad. It feels good to be able to say that.”
“I want to grow as a player and as a person, and I know that will happen at this club.
“I love football – it has given me so much for so long – and to continue my development at Manchester City is a very special moment for me and my family.
“I absolutely can’t wait to get started now. I want to meet my teammates, train hard, understand what the manager expects from me and then show the City fans what I can do.”
