No chance for Liverpool: how much City paid to land Marc Guéhi
Manchester City have once again flexed their financial muscle on the transfer market. According to Alex Crook of talkSPORT, details of Marc Guéhi’s personal contract have emerged — and they explain why no rival, including Liverpool, stood a real chance.
The England international is set to complete a €20 million move from Crystal Palace before the end of the month, strengthening Pep Guardiola’s defensive options. On the surface, the transfer fee looks reasonable. The real difference-maker, however, lies in the player’s salary.
Under the terms of his deal at Manchester City, Marc Guéhi will earn a staggering £15.6 million per year — around €18 million. Those numbers instantly made City the only realistic destination for the Palace captain and defensive leader.
