According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5676387/2024/08/02/newcastle-marc-guehi-transfer-crystal-palace/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, the 24-year-old centre-back, who has been a standout performer in the Premier League and recently impressed for England at Euro 2024, is considering his future at Selhurst Park. The Magpies already approached Palace earlier this week for a transfer and are steadily <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marc-guehi-jude-bellingham-real-madrid-target-shock-transfer-england-crystal-palace-set-asking-price/blt0646472d76a32766" target="_blank">stepping up their pursuit to beat the competition </a>as the defender is allegedly on the wish list of several European clubs.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Guehi's current contract with Crystal Palace runs until 2026. However, there have been no indications of an extension, which might prompt Palace to consider selling him now to capitalise on his market value.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Guehi's recent performances have solidified his status as a top-tier defender. Last season, he made 29 appearances for Palace, showcasing his defensive prowess and consistency. During Euro 2024, he started six out of England's seven matches, only <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/marc-guehi-handed-euro-2024-ban-england-talisman-booked-hospital-pass-kieran-trippier-16-slovakia/bltcd12b1852be8c06a" target="_blank">missing the quarter-final against Switzerland</a> due to suspension.

DID YOU KNOW?

Palace have already taken steps to strengthen their defence by signing Chadi Riad from Real Betis. This addition to their squad might make them more amenable to negotiating Guehi's transfer, knowing they have bolstered their defensive options. Whereas, it will be a significant boost for Eddie Howe's team as the defender is expected to make an immediate impact and is considered one of the most significant potential signings of this transfer window.
