Transfer News: Newcastle make move to sign ₦124 billion rated Eagles star

Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing Crystal Palace's central defender Marc Guehi as Eddie Howe pushes to strengthen his team's defense this summer.

Guehi fits the desired profile, being right-sided but also capable of playing on the left side of the defence.

With two years remaining on his contract, Palace will likely demand a substantial transfer fee, considering Guehi's growing reputation and importance to the team.

However, Newcastle must balance their interest with the need to adhere to Premier League Squad Regulations (PSR), which may limit their spending.

According to reports, Guehi's potential transfer fee could be in the range of £60m, comparable to Everton's valuation of Jarrad Branthwaite, another England international and Newcastle target.

Notably, Guehi played a significant role in England's recent Euros campaign, featuring in all but one match, whereas Branthwaite was omitted from the final squad.

As Newcastle navigates the transfer market, they must weigh their desire for Guehi against FFP implications and ensure a strategic approach to bolstering their defense.
