‘We pay his salary' - Guardiola furious as Guehi ruled out final vs Arsenal

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Manchester City will formally write to the football authorities to demand Marc Guehi be deemed eligible for the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal. The City manager expressed his bewilderment after his £20 million January signing was forced to watch from the stands as his teammates dismantled Newcastle on Wednesday, insisting that the regulations preventing the defender from playing defy logic given the club pays his wages.

Transfer window rondo: Who won the window? Who missed the mark?

The January transfer window offered admittedly few high profile moves, but there were certainly some significant deals that will have an impact this year and for those to come.

January Transfer Window Winners and Losers GFX

Biggest winners & losers of the January transfer window

The 2026 winter window closed on Monday, with Jorgen Strand Larsen's £48 million move from Wolves to Crystal Palace the biggest deal done on deadline day. Truth be told, though, it was a pretty tame end to what's been a fairly quiet month in the transfer market. Indeed, aside from Manchester City, most of Europe's top teams did next-to-no mid-season business, while there was very little movement at all in France, Germany or Spain - which wasn't that surprising, given January is traditionally a tough time to find good value for money.

10 best-value signings of the January window

Famously, the January transfer window is the more difficult of the two to operate in. It's hard to persuade other clubs to give up assets mid-season, sometimes even harder to convince players that they're better off making a move immediately rather than waiting until the following summer. But that doesn't mean deals are impossible, or that you can't get good value for your buck.

Transfer grades for the biggest January deals

January is a notoriously bad time for buyers because nobody ever wants to sell top talent midway through the season. There are, however, exceptions to the rule. Some clubs need to raise funds to balance the books, while others can be left with not option but to unload an unhappy player who has made it clear that he wants to join a stronger side.

Guehi 'maybe felt let down' by Liverpool after joining Man City

Marc Guehi may have felt disrespected by the failed transfer to Liverpool in the summer window and "probably" won't regret moving to Manchester City in January instead, according to former Germany international Didi Hamann. The England defender saw a switch from Crystal Palace to Anfield break down at the last minute and instead moved to the Etihad Stadium earlier this month for a reported £20 million.

Glasner '100% committed' to Palace despite explosive rants

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says he is "100% committed" to the club until the end of the season despite launching a scathing attack on the Eagles' hierarchy. The Austrian announced this campaign would be his last earlier this month, before expressing his disdain at the decision to sell captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City. Now, however, it seems he has held positive talks with chairman Steve Parish.

Is Richard Hughes to blame for Liverpool's poor season?

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has a very cold, analytical approach to his role - so much so, in fact, that he was once described as "robot" by an agent who had dealt with him. Of course, being devoid of emotion probably wouldn't be such a bad thing for Hughes, given the nature of his job and the potential for being adversely affected by the wildly differing views on the work he's doing at Anfield.

Revealed: How Palace plan to replace Guehi after City move

Crystal Palace are reportedly prioritising signing a replacement for Marc Guehi in the final 11 days of the transfer window, but fans who are hoping to see a big-name defender arrive at Selhurst Park are set to be disappointed. The Eagles are short of options at centre-back following the England international’s move to Manchester City, while they are also reeling from wantaway striker Jean-Philippe Mateta's bombshell admission.

Can Guehi alone save Man City's 'embarrassing' season?

Pep Guardiola has never been one to mince his words, but his tone after Manchester City were ripped to shreds by tiny Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday was almost apocalyptic. While he did point out that his side were missing 11 players for their trip to the Arctic Circle and was hugely complimentary of their victors, he laid out the state his team are in right now in no uncertain terms.

Revealed: Why Chelsea backed away from Guehi deal amid concerns

Chelsea backed away from a potential deal for Marc Guehi in the January transfer window, allowing Manchester City to swoop in for the Crystal Palace and England defender in a deal worth an initial £20 million. The Blues have been hunting for a new centre-back to bolster their backline but opted against re-signing the 25-year-old due to several concerns.

RANKED: Liverpool's CB targets after failing to land Guehi

Liverpool are in a mess all of their own making. The Reds knew that they were short on senior centre-backs last summer and had ample time to address the problem before the close of the transfer window - yet they waited until deadline day to finalise a move for Marc Guehi. So, when Crystal Palace pulled the plug on the deal at the 11th hour, Liverpool were left in the very, very precarious position of needing Ibrahima Konate to continue performing at a high level, Joe Gomez to stay fit and teenage summer signing Giovanni Leoni to make an immediate impact at Anfield.

City complete £20m move for Guehi

Marc Guehi has officially signed for Manchester City after completing a £20m ($27m) move from Crystal Palace. The England defender has penned a contract with City until 2031 and immediately boosts the team's injury-ravaged defence, with Pep Guardiola's side having lost Josko Gvardiol for the rest of the season while also missing Ruben Dias and John Stones.

Glasner learns his fate! Crystal Palace make sack decision

Crystal Palace have made a decision on Oliver Glasner’s future as the club’s manager, with sack talk being played down at Selhurst Park. Glasner has revealed that he intends to sever ties with the Eagles when reaching the end of his contract in the summer. He has spoken of feeling “abandoned” after seeing club captain Marc Guehi sold to Manchester City and transfer speculation rage around Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Guehi in airplane drama as Man City flight aborts landing

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi enduring a dramatic flight up to Manchester to complete his transfer to Pep Guardiola's side. Guehi's private jet was forced to abort its landing at Manchester Airport at the last minute and loop over the city before safely touching down. The defender is set to join the Cityzens in a January transfer worth £20 million.

What was Amorim thinking?! Free Bruno key to United revival

The words, "It's Carrick, you know, it's hard to believe it's not Scholes" reverberated around Old Trafford during Manchester United's stunning 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday, and watching the Red Devils tear into their local rivals with gusto while putting the ball in the net five times, it was hard to believe that Ruben Amorim was in charge of this team for so long but never got them to play like this.
