David Ornstein has provided an update on the Marc Guehi transfer situation, revealing that Crystal Palace are holding out for £65m plus £5m in add-ons for their captain.
Newcastle’s latest bid was £60m with a guaranteed £5m in add-ons, but this offer has yet to be accepted. The club is reportedly at its limit with this bid and is exploring other options as Palace remains firm on their valuation.
Ornstein also notes that Guehi is being monitored by Liverpool, who are considering centre-backs due to potential departures and upcoming contract expirations. However, Newcastle are the only team to have engaged in serious discussions with Palace. Negotiations are stalled with a £5m gap between the clubs.
A resolution is hoped for this week, either through a compromise with Palace or by advancing other centre-back targets as the transfer deadline approaches.
