Marc Guehi was the subject of several Newcastle bids last summer, but remained in Crystal Palace, who runs the risk of losing him for free in 2026 when his current deal expires
Newcastle still has to make a new approach for Liverpool -target white Marc Guehi, who has Crystal Palace value £ 50 million value. Guehi, 24, is strongly connected to a relocation to Liverpool, who recently reported that football was mirrored, were in pole position.
But this time last year Newcastle pushed to sign him. The International of England was fresh from an impressive campaign at Euro 2024 and St James' Park Chiefs submitted four bids up to £ 65 million.
However, none of them met the £ 70 million appreciation of £ 70 million and Newcastle eventually left their pursuit. The Eagles are forced to lower their asking price this summer, with Guehi going into the last year of his contract.
But as it looks now, Newcastle did not return for the FA Cup-winning captain. The Chronicle report that Eddie Howe and Co. Keep an eye on the situation of Guehi from far, although they do not exclude the negotiating table.
Liverpool therefore remains the clear favorites and wants to build on their £ 200m-plus spending this summer. The Reds would like to bring in a center-back that is younger than Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, of whom the last 12 months of his deal also entered into the midst of Real Madrid.
It has been added that Guehi would be willing to complete his contract if Palace cannot facilitate his sale before the summer transfer window closes on Monday 1 September. There is also the issue of Chelsea, which owes 15 percent of any profit over the £ 18 million for which they sold the 24-year-old in 2021.
The blues themselves are linked for the time being, but it is Liverpool who seem to be the brightest competitors of Newcastle. The magpies were desperate to sign Guehi a year ago, but Palace chairman Steve Parish made it clear that they would demand 'Superstar money'.
Parish said to BBC Sport: “We would like to hold him. There is a price and a situation in which we could consider it. Someone [in another interview] Said he is a superstar, so someone has to pay superstar money.
Does Liverpool or Newcastle have to pay £ 50 million for Marc Guehi? Say in the commentary part.
“Realistic, from home -made, 24 years old, sensational talent, someone has to make it difficult for us. At the moment it is not that. He will currently still be in Crystal Palace, but it is not impossible.
“He certainly does not make anyone's life difficult, his agents are decent people. It is a very good situation. Whether he is here or not, will not make a difference in how he performs.”
