Newcastle United are unlikely to give up their pursuit Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi in 2025 after the Magpies made a strong push for the England international in the summer.
Eddie Howe was looking for a new centre-back during the last transfer window and the Tyneside club identified Guehi as their top target following his impressive displays at Euro 2024 with England.
Newcastle pushed hard for the 24-year-old and tabled as many as four bids for the Crystal Palace star
The final offer was worth it £65 millionhowever, the Eagles rejected the proposal as they held out for more than £70 million. Newcastle decided to leave as a result, but are ready to test their Premier League rivals’ resolve again in January when the defender enters the remaining 18 months of his contract.
If Guehi does not leave, the summer will certainly see the Crystal Palace star depart Selhurst Park as the south London outfit would get the best deal with his contract entering the final year.
Newcastle’s problem is that more clubs will enter the race and there have been Liverpool rumours showing interest in the English international.
Peter Crouch believes Marc Guehi will leave Crystal Palace in 2025
One man who believes Guehi will leave Crystal Palace in 2025 is TNT Sports pundit Peter Crouch.
“That was a big, big call for this football club (Palace) to keep him,” the former Liverpool star told TNT Sports via the Daily Mail before the Eagles’ 1-0 loss to the Reds last Saturday. “I think Newcastle came in with £70m, it was their number one target.
“It happened all summer, yes. I think Guehi will go, I think it will cost them a lot to keep him, some clubs like Liverpool will come for him as well. I think he has done well to go forward.
“After the Euros there was a lot of interest in him, but, you know, he has his head down. He is stepping up and has to do his job for Palace.”
