Crystal Palace has been unsuccessful in securing Marc Guehi’s transfer to Newcastle United four times. Micah Richards has advised Crystal Palace to “do everything possible”
to obtain Marc Guehi from Newcastle United.Heads of the cartoon team have been unsuccessful in four attempts to finalize the deal with England’s international player. The Daily Mail mentioned that the last proposal was close to £65 million, which would have set Guehi as the most expensive player to join the club.Yesterday, Steve Parish, a co-owner of the Palace, stated that no team had reached their asking price for the 24-year-old. He also cast doubt on the idea that Newcastle were the sole interested party, a rumor that Toon circles have expressed doubt about on various social media platforms.With less than two weeks left in the timeframe, the Magpies have a critical opportunity to negotiate a deal. The recent red card of Fabian Schar on Saturday has underscored the urgency to fortify the defense. Regarding Guehi, he was both a player and the leader of Palace when they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Brentford.
Richards, who played for Manchester City, Aston Villa, and the England national team as a full-back, has advised the Eagles’ management to let Newcastle go without them. This follows Guehi’s standout performance with John Stones for England at the Euro 2024 tournament.
“Replacing him will be tough,” he mentioned. “I believe there are discussions about a £65million transfer fee. I believe the Palace should aim to negotiate for the highest possible amount.”I believe he’s that talented. At 24, he’s incredibly modest during interviews too. The only concern I had was if he could handle this level of success. In the Euro Cup, he definitely proved himself. His ascent has been incredible.”
Crystal Palace has been identified as a possible contender for signing Manchester United’s midfielder Scott McTominay, as reported by Stretty News.
The Eagles are said to have entered the negotiation process for the 27-year-old Scottish player, who might be looking to move before his current deal ends in June 2025.
Following his most successful season in terms of goals scored, McTominay has risen in popularity among Premier League teams, with Fulham being the most active in recent times.
The Cottagers have previously turned down two offers from Manchester United during this period, while several European clubs, such as Napoli, Galatasaray, and Fenerbahce, have also been rumored to be interested in him.
Stretty News reports that Crystal Palace and Brighton have recently been added to the list of teams vying for McTominay this summer, after his stellar performance with 10 goals at Old Trafford last year.
Commended for his ‘exceptional’ skills, McTominay might soon be transferred to support Manchester United in their efforts to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte. This move could assist Manchester United in fulfilling the demands of the Ligue 1 champions for the Uruguayan player, who is currently being sought for around £51 million this season.
Stretty News reports that it’s uncertain whether any team in England or Europe will be able to match Manchester United’s high price of approximately £25-30million to secure McTominay before his current contract ends.
Manchester United have maintained their high price tag for the Scotsman and have turned down multiple offers, including one from Fulham, which was reportedly valued at £20million.
Should McTominay make the move to Crystal Palace, he would join the Eagles as their fourth signing for the summer during a period that has seen relatively few new players for Oliver Glasner’s team.
