Crystal Palace are refusing to budge on their £70m valuation of Marc Guehi, despite Newcastle United’s ongoing efforts to sign the talented centre-back. The Eagles are determined to keep hold of their prized asset, and for good reason.

Guehi has been instrumental in Palace’s success, bringing a unique combination of pace, power, and defensive prowess to the table. His partnership with Joachim Andersen has been a key factor in the team’s solid defensive record, and his sale would leave a significant void in the heart of the Palace defense.

Furthermore, Palace are not under pressure to sell, having secured a significant influx of funds from the sale of other players in recent years. They are therefore unwilling to compromise on their valuation of Guehi, who they believe is worth every penny of the £70m price tag.

Newcastle United, on the other hand, are growing increasingly desperate to sign a right-footed centre-back, with Guehi their top target. However, Palace’s resolve has forced them to explore alternative options, including Edmond Tapsoba, Axel Disasi, Trevoh Chalobah, and Joe Gomez.

As the transfer window draws to a close, it appears that Palace’s stance on Guehi’s future will not be swayed. The Eagles are prioritizing their own ambitions over any potential financial gain, and it seems that Guehi will remain a Palace player for the foreseeable future.
