There has been quite a buzz surrounding Marc Guehi, as Newcastle United has expressed a strong interest in the talented centre-back. It seems the club is not alone in their admiration for Guehi, as Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner recently revealed that he has had discussions with the player about his future. At the same time, Newcastle United has been making a concerted effort to secure the 24-year-old with their fourth bid, reportedly worth a whopping £65 million.
Guehi's impressive performance at Euro 2024 has caught the attention of several other Premier League clubs, but none have shown as much determination as Newcastle. However, Palace has remained resolute in their valuation of the player, believed to be over £70 million. Despite the ongoing negotiations, Glasner has assured fans that Guehi will be starting in the upcoming match against Brentford.
When asked about the latest bid for Guehi, Glasner responded, "Marc trained with the team today and we also had a chat. I might have to check my bank account if a deal goes through, but as of now, we are planning to have him on the pitch. He is our captain and a key player, so he will remain with us." This statement from the Austrian manager suggests that Palace has no intention of letting go of their valuable defender.
Guehi is not the only Palace player attracting interest from other clubs, as Joachim Andersen has also received a bid from Fulham, which was ultimately rejected. Glasner addressed the rumors surrounding the players, saying, "All of our players are available, as long as they do not express their desire to leave or if the club decides to sell them. We have a close relationship with our players and communicate with them every day. Our focus is on preparing the team for the upcoming Premier League match."
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe also spoke about the ongoing negotiations, stating that the club will have to carefully consider if their continued pursuit of Guehi is worth it. He emphasized that the club will not pay "silly fees" for players, and if the deal does not fit within their financial structure, they will have to consider other options. This approach is not new for Newcastle, as Howe explained that they have had to switch targets in the past due to financial constraints.
In the end, it remains to be seen if Newcastle will be able to secure Guehi's signature, but one thing is for sure, both clubs are determined to come to a favorable agreement. With Guehi being a key player for Palace and Newcastle's strong interest in him, it will be interesting to see how this transfer saga unfolds.
