Sky Sports’ Keith Downie has been discussing the latest on Newcastle United’s pursuit of Marc Guehi from outside St James’ Park this morning.
He reports that Newcastle have NOT walked away from a deal for the Crystal Palace defender, insisting he is our top target and someone we will continue to pursue until the summer window shuts two weeks tomorrow.
Downie feels we won’t be put off by Steve Parish’s comments earlier this week and believes negotiations are still taking place after three separate bids. Our last offer is thought to be £55m rising to £60m including add-ons, but Palace are demanding a minimum of £65m.
As the Sky Sports reporter explains below, it’s expected that private talks will take place over the coming days after much of the negotiation has been played out in public, where we’ve seen regular updates on bids, talks and interviews from Parish himself over the past week.
“They’ve make it clear he’s their number one defensive target.”

So, it seems Newcastle are refusing to give up on Guehi and must still have real belief that there’s a deal to be done here.
