Newcastle United is actively negotiating with Crystal Palace and Marc Guehi’s representatives, aiming to finalize a deal.
The transfer fee is expected to exceed £65 million, with the payment structure being crucial to the agreement.
Guehi is reportedly interested in joining Newcastle, attracted by the club’s ambition.
The negotiations are ongoing, and there’s a possibility that this could become Newcastle’s record transfer, surpassing the £63 million paid for Alexander Isak.
The club is set to play their final match in Japan against Yokohama F. Marinos, after which manager Eddie Howe is likely to face questions about Guehi’s potential transfer.
Newcastle views Guehi as a significant signing and is eager to demonstrate their commitment to strengthening the squad.
The club aims to return to the Champions League and compete for domestic cups.Guehi’s wages are not expected to be an issue for Newcastle.
While he would receive an increase from his current £50,000 per week at Palace, his salary would still align with Newcastle’s wage structure.
