Newcastle set to make fifth bid for Crystal Palace defender

Newcastle's pursuit of Guehi hit a roadblock once again as Palace turned down their latest offer of £60 million, with an additional £5 million in add-ons. This marks the fourth rejection in a series of failed bids for the talented defender.

Newcastle United desperately need a new defender this summer and Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi looks to be their man as a fifth and possibly final bid is on the cards.AdvertisementAdvertisement

Palace chairman Steve Parish has told Newcastle to stump up “superstar money” if they want to sign the 24-year-old England centre-back who featured at the Euros this summer and has proven to be a solid Premier League defender in recent years.

Palace are said to value Guehi at up to £70M and will not budge on the price this summer as they have rejected a number of bids from the Magpies.

The Eagles are eager to keep the defender but if Newcastle make an improved bid then they may have to let him go.
