According to The Telegraph, Crystal Palace are demanding ‘in excess of £70m’ for Marc Guehi and look set to reject Newcastle’s latest £65m bid.
The Mail’s chief reporter Sami Mokbel also has the same information, revealing just moments ago that our fourth offer ‘needs improving’, leaving sporting director Paul Mitchell ‘considering his options.’
It was revealed earlier today that we’ve upped our third bid (£55m plus £5m in add-ons) to an overall package worth £65m including add-ons, but it’s still not enough as Palace continue to stand their ground.
Time will tell what we do next, but it really might be time to walk away and pursue other options. As good as Guehi is, he is not worth north of £70m; especially when he has less than two years left on his contract and would command a club-record fee, thus limiting our ability to also afford a top right-winger this summer.
Speaking to Sky Sports today, Palace boss Oliver Glasner confirmed Guehi looks set to start at Brentford on Sunday. “Marc trained today and we talked together. I will have to look at my bank account if something came in! But it doesn’t look like it so we have to plan with Marc. He is our player and our captain and I can’t tell you anything else.”
