The rumor mill about transfers starts to pick up speed as the deadline for transfers draws nearer. As it has
been for the previous week, Newcastle United’s top goal is still to try to complete a deal for Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace.
The Eagles are refusing to back down at the moment, and the offer has risen to £60 million, with an additional £10 million reportedly needed to seal the deal. Guehi may still end up a Newcastle player, but there’s also a chance the Mags decide not to proceed with a transaction that has nearly reached absurdity in cost.The name of Joe Gomez has been placed out there in the search for alternatives. Given how close Newcastle was to signing the 27-year-old central defender earlier this summer as part of a deal that would have sent Anthony Gordon to Anfield, it’s easy to associate the name with the club and indicate their desire.Gomez is understood to be available for a fair price, even though new manager Arne Slot
does not consider the England player to be among his starting players. Liverpool has not made it obvious that Gomez is for sale. Although a Gomez transfer would be far more affordable for Newcastle than a move for Guehi, would it be a wise addition? Ally McCoist, an ex-player and analyst on ITV and talkSPORT, believes so.”I think he would be a good signing for anybody,” he stated. He would make a solid addition to either Villa or Newcastle, in my opinion. If Liverpool allowed him go at this particular moment, I would be shocked. I honestly would, I really would.
“His versatility as a backfield player makes him very appealing, especially to teams like Newcastle and Villa, where I believe he would fit in well.” However, I would be shocked if Liverpool let him go.Although it’s still unclear if Liverpool will allow Gomez leave, the Reds might struggle to hold onto a player who wants to play if teams like Newcastle make a strong offer.
