ภาษาไทย Josko Gvardiol's Injury Could Prompt Manchester City Move for Marc Guehi
Posted on January 06, 2026, updated on January 06, 2026
Manchester City defender Josko Gvardiol is set to undergo surgery for a fractured tibia, leading the club to reconsider their defensive options during the January transfer window. The injury occurred during a recent match against Chelsea, leaving City more short-staffed at the back as Ruben Dias is also sidelined.
With Gvardiol's recovery timeline uncertain, City is reportedly accelerating their interest in Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi. Originally seen as a target for the summer on a free transfer due to his contract status, Guehi might now be pursued earlier if City decides to strengthen their defense immediately.
Expectations are high for Guehi, as he has attracted interest from multiple clubs, including Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona. Although Palace hasn't received any formal offers yet, they are preparing for potential bids, especially considering the growing urgency in City's situation.
The transfer dynamics are intensifying, and with Gvardiol potentially sidelined for an extended period, Manchester City will look to make strategic moves to bolster their squad ahead of key fixtures. As they navigate these challenges, the focus remains on maintaining competitiveness in both domestic and European competitions.
