Newcastle set to launch final Marc Guehi bid as Howe makes transfer plea – Report

According to The Sun’s Alan Nixon, Newcastle are set to launch one final bid worth £70m for Marc Guehi.

With this summer’s transfer window set to close on Friday night, he reports on his patreon that Eddie Howe is “pleading” with the powers that be to finally get a deal over the line after repeatedly failing to meet the Eagles’ valuation of the player.

Nixon, however, adds that we are in danger of being ‘timed out’ of the move if things don’t progress quickly, with Oliver Glasner’s squad having already lost Joachim Andersen. Losing both centre-backs would be a blow and tough for them to replace, leaving them in a tough position after starting the season with back-to-back defeats.

£70m would feel like an overpay from Newcastle, but we’re in need of reinforcements at this stage of the window and appear desperate for a breakthrough following a host of rejected bids, a three-game ban for Fabian Schar and Sven Botman remaining out after ACL surgery.
