Friday has been a busy day for Manchester City and Crystal Palace as the two clubs look to finalize a deal for center-back Marc Guéhi.
Guéhi, who would have been a free agent this summer, was a transfer target for Bayern Munich and his representatives — allegedly — had several conversations with board member for sport Max Eberl. Below is a summary of the status reports on the potential move:

🚨💣 Manchester City hopeful to seal Marc Guehi deal very soon following their big approach exclusively revealed today!
Man City already presented a proposal to Palace, club to club agreement not seen as an issue — and advancing fast on player side.
Manchester City has been ravaged by injury at the center-back position as Rúben Dias (hamstring), Josko Gvardiol (tibia/ankle fracture), and John Stones (thigh) are all sidelined. Youngsters like Max Alleyne and Abdukodir Khusanov have filled in, but not to the level required for Pep Guardiola. Gvardiol is out long-term, which complicates matters even further.
