Newcastle’s Guehi bid revealed: Star may go free

Newcastle’s £70m battle fails as Guehi heads for free transfer

Newcastle Reignite Interest in Guehi as Palace Face Contract Dilemma

Newcastle United remain attentive to Marc Guéhi’s situation at Crystal Palace, with the Magpies still in need of defensive reinforcements. Last summer’s £70 million bid—aggressively pushed by sporting director Paul Mitchell—was flatly rejected by Palace chairman Steve Parish, who insisted on “superstar money” for his captain.

Shifting Negotiation Landscape
With Guéhi’s contract winding down, Palace risk losing him for nothing if they refuse reasonable offers this summer. Liverpool and Chelsea are also circling, but Newcastle—despite walking away from last year’s inflated demands—could re-enter the race if the 24-year-old becomes a free agent.

Financial Realities at Play
Eddie Howe previously acknowledged Newcastle’s spending limits, stating: “We’re not able to spend that way… Everything has long-term consequences.” If Palace soften their stance, the Magpies may finally land their long-admired target—but if they hold firm, Guéhi could depart Selhurst Park for free in 2025.
