Newcastle are interested in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. But only if the asking price is reasonable as the St James’ Park side are also strapped for cash.
Sky Sports reports that the central defender position is a priority for head coach Eddie Howe in the 2024 summer transfer window. And Guehi’s profile looks perfect as a centre-back who can play on either right or left UFABET
Kehi’s transfer fee is unlikely to be cheap given his role with Palace in recent years and his recent call-up to England’s Euro 2024 squad.
This is the hurdle that Newcastle are most concerned about. As they must conduct the transaction without violating the league’s Profit and Stability Rules (PSR). Therefore, if the Eagles overcharge them, they may let it slide and look for other options.
The 24-year-old could be priced in as much as £60m. In line with Everton’s asking price for defender Jarrad Branthwaite as United look to thwart interest
In the end, if Kehi continues to play at Selhurst Park. There is no way he will be able to extend his contract beyond the one that expires in June 2026 .
As for the 24-year-old, who was asked which stadium he thought was the best he had ever played at, he said:
“Schalke’s stadium is really good but I think the best would be Newcastle St James’ Park. It’s really loud there, the fans make it really difficult when you go there. So yeah, St James’ Park.”
