Despite a four-month wait, Newcastle United may be on the verge of realising their August goals for Marc Guehi. According to sources, the Crystal Palace player is back in the market for Newcastle United after he was unable to agree to a new deal in south London.
Guehi’s outstanding EURO 2024 campaign with England put the ‘superstar’ on a pedestal to earn his place on the shortlist of the Premier League’s leading clubs, and Newcastle took that up by making four bids for his services – and though a deal couldn’t be completed, they are reportedly set to revisit that in the winter.
Newcastle Set to Resurrect Marc Guehi Interest
The Northern Echo story indicates that the Magpies are prepared to renew their interest in Guehi during the January transfer window, as Eddie Howe’s prospects of acquiring the Chelsea academy graduate are increased by the Eagles’ inability to negotiate a new contract for the England star.

Newcastle made four bids for Guehi in the summer, but each increase was insufficient to seal the deal. As a result, a move fell through, even though early August reports indicated that a transfer was almost final.
Despite Palace’s efforts, it is believed that other members of their board were more than willing to accept Newcastle’s last offer, which was approximately £60 million, according to the article. With only 18 months remaining on his contract, Guehi’s window for cashing in on his services is getting smaller. Despite rumours of a new contract after Newcastle failed to sign their player, there are no signs that Guehi will want to stay at Selhurst Park any longer.
In addition to strengthening Newcastle’s position in the winter transfer window, it is Palace’s final significant chance to obtain a high price for one of their best assets now that Michael Olise has left. Given that Guehi’s contract is expiring and his value has decreased in recent months, Newcastle won’t be making the same rejected offer again in August. In addition, Newcastle’s recruitment team will be cautious because Palace’s dismal start to the season may have changed their own goals.
