Transfer Deadline Day: Newcastle’s Guehi Pursuit, Chelsea’s Toney Interest, and More

Newcastle United are still in the race for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, but the deal is proving challenging. Palace are holding firm on their valuation, making it difficult for Newcastle to secure the player. Meanwhile, Chelsea are considering Ivan Toney as a potential replacement for Victor Osimhen, should the Nigerian striker move to Al Ahli. Brentford have contacted Chelsea regarding Ben Chilwell, while Trevoh Chalobah is attracting interest from multiple clubs, including some in England. Chelsea are also keeping tabs on Jadon Sancho, who is on the verge of a move to Juventus. Manchester United, however, have rejected Juventus’ improved offer for Sancho. Elsewhere, speculation surrounding Victor Lindelof’s future remains quiet, with Manchester United not actively seeking to sell the player. Liverpool are not in the running for Alan Varela, despite rumors linking them with the Porto midfielder. Porto are determined to keep Varela and have set his release clause at €65 million. Barcelona’s financial limitations mean a move for Adrien Rabiot seems unlikely, with the midfielder still searching for a new club. The potential transfer of Joao Neves to Paris Saint-Germain has been lauded as a great piece of business, with the young midfielder considered a top talent.
