Newcastle United have been closely linked with Lens centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov over the previous few weeks, however Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi stays one to look at given our critical makes an attempt to signal him over the summer time.
Manchester Metropolis’s rising curiosity within the Uzbekistani 20-year-old has made a transfer to Newcastle develop into unlikely, making some surprise if the England worldwide will quickly re-enter our ideas in 2025.
Guehi is contracted till 2026 so the ball is finally in Crystal Palace’s court docket whether or not they need to money in now or threat shedding him on a free in 18 months.
It seems as if if Guehi needs to go away then he will likely be allowed to take action – however there was no indication from South London that the centre-back is pushing for a transfer.
Requested in a current press convention if he thinks Guehi will keep at Selhurt Park this month, Oliver Glasner mentioned: “I believe so. No participant from our squad got here to me and mentioned [they] need to go away. Nobody.
“Nobody that performed all of the video games, all of the minutes, like Marc, and nobody from the gamers who didn’t play so many minutes. That is probably the most related half: what the participant tells me.
“If one is coming and says they need to go away and each golf equipment discover an settlement, I believe it would occur. However so long as a participant doesn’t come — and Marc didn’t come — I’m actually not involved he’ll go away.”
From an outdoor view, I wouldn’t be crammed with confidence if Eddie Howe couldn’t say with conviction {that a} star participant can be staying on the membership within the mid-season window.
Nonetheless, Palace followers might take some solace that if Guehi needs to remain then the membership received’t pressure him out of his contract to recoup some cash – however how a lot the defender would price regardless stays unclear.
We made a number of makes an attempt to signal the Crystal Palace centre-back over the summer time, however ultimately walked away from a deal after the Eagles reportedly turned down our remaining supply value £65m.
Newcastle hope Palace will take heed to affords for Guehi at a ‘way more cheap’ £50m in January – nevertheless the type of Dan Burn, and the return of Sven Botman, go away Newcastle in a robust sufficient place this winter to keep away from defensive reinforcements to liberate funds for a right-winger.
With it being recommended Guehi will keep put this month anyway, Palace should additional drop their analysis in the summertime when only one 12 months stays on his deal, although that will concurrently see extra develop into enthusiastic about buying the defender’s providers.
