Newcastle’s Last-Minute Gamble: Palace Demands £75 Million for Guehi

Newcastle United’s pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has hit a major snag, with Palace demanding a whopping £75 million for the England international. The Magpies have already made three offers for Guehi, with their most recent bid reaching £65 million, but Palace remains steadfast in their valuation. With the transfer window closing in just 24 hours, Newcastle are facing a frantic scramble to secure their top defensive target. Guehi has been a key player for Palace, featuring in over 100 matches during his three years at Selhurst Park. If Newcastle agree to meet Palace’s price, it would make Guehi one of the most expensive defenders in Premier League history, tied with Virgil van Dijk’s move to Liverpool in 2018.
