Crystal Palace and England centre-back Marc Guehi is in high demand, as Newcastle United has just submitted a fourth bid for him.
The situation arose after Crystal Palace rejected Newcastle United’s first three bids, which were reportedly around £60 million.
Newcastle has now made a fourth bid for Marc Guehi, offering £65 million plus add-ons, according to Sky Sports. Despite this, Palace has remained firm, possibly aware that selling Guehi so soon after losing Michael Olise to Bayern Munich might send the wrong message to their supporters.
Newcastle’s bid is influenced by their need to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, which limits how much they can offer, especially considering Guehi’s salary demands.
Palace seems set to reject this latest offer, as Sky Sports reports. With just under two weeks left in the transfer window, there is still time for a deal, but Eddie Howe might need to consider selling one of his key players to make room for Guehi.
From Guehi’s perspective, he has kept a low profile, and his desire for the move could be the key factor in determining whether this transfer saga reaches a resolution.
