Newcastle United handed major Marc Guehi transfer boost as Crystal Palace plot £60m agreement before 2025.

Crystal Palace may have won the battle with Newcastle United over Marc Guehi this summer, but the war is set to rumble on.
Newcastle made Guehi their top transfer target during the final month of the summer window but were unable to land the England defender. Crystal Palace were holding out for around £75million for Guehi in the end after selling Joachim Andersen and the injury to Chadi Riad.

Newcastle bid for Guehi and remained in discussions up until the transfer deadline but would not meet Palace’s valuation. The Magpies returning for the 24-year-old centre-back in future windows is a real possibility as his value is almost certain to decrease.

This is due to Guehi’s contract situation. He has less than two years remaining on his current deal and Palace will need to either agree a new contract or risk being in a precarious situation next summer.

While Palace held the power during the transfer window just gone, the ball will be in Newcastle’s or any other potential buyer’s court next summer if Guehi remains under his current contract. By next summer Guehi will have a year remaining on his deal at Selhurst Park which will likely drop his value to around the £50million mark.

And Palace may be pressured to agreeing a deal by that point in order to avoid risking losing him on a free transfer the following year. Because of this, Palace chairman Steve Parish’s refusal to sell Guehi to Newcastle this summer and maximise the club’s profits is understood to have caused tension behind the scenes at Selhurst Park.

The only solution to Palace’s problem would be to tie Guehi down to a new contract. According to Mail Online, that is exactly what the club are planning.
