Newcastle United has initiated contact with Crystal Palace to discuss a potential deal for English defender Marc Guehi. Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s manager, has identified a central defender as a top priority for the summer transfer window, and Guehi fits the profile he desires.
The transfer of the English international could demand a substantial fee, given Guehi's rising value in the football world and his contract with Crystal Palace running until the summer of 2026. This contract condition, coupled with his high-level performances, makes Guehi a player of significant importance and potential for any interested club.
However, Newcastle must consider the Financial Fair Play (FFP) implications in pursuing this deal. If Crystal Palace's demands are too high, the Magpies may need to reassess their interest in Guehi, bearing in mind the threat of point deductions that looms over any Premier League club exceeding the set limits. If Marc Guehi remains at Crystal Palace for the upcoming season, it is not ruled out that he might sign a new contract with the Selhurst Park club, further solidifying his position with the Eagles.
