According to journalists David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano, the Londoners will receive 20 million pounds, approximately 23 million euros for him, an amount considerably lower than the minimum 35 million requested by the club, which the English press recently reported.

Journalist David Ornstein of “The Athletic” adds that there will also be bonuses in the contract, as well as a percentage of a possible subsequent sale of Guehi. The player will sign a contract for five and a half years.
On the final day of the 2025 summer transfer window, Palace negotiated the sale of their captain to Liverpool for £35m, but the 'Selhurst Park' side later pulled out of the deal. Now, the Londoners felt they should still receive a sum of money for him, as he would be leaving as a free agent in the summer.

Although Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern (Munich) and Real Madrid have also shown an interest in Guehi, it seems only Manchester City were willing to make a bid in January. The other clubs were planning a free transfer for the player in the summer.
Earlier today, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner confirmed that the deal for the defender is in the final stages and he will therefore not be part of the squad for tomorrow's game against Sunderland.
