Crystal Palace are actively seeking to sell their captain, Marc Guehi, before the current transfer window closes. The centre-back has attracted significant interest from several Premier League clubs, with Newcastle United reportedly keen on securing his services.

Palace's willingness to negotiate reflects a strategic decision aligned with their transfer objectives this summer. The club has set a valuation of around £40 million for Guehi, which is considered a bargain price given his leadership role and performance level. Despite his importance to the team, Palace appear ready to finalize a deal provided the offer meets their expectations.

Guehi's potential departure comes amid Crystal Palace's broader efforts to reshape their squad and address financial constraints. The defender has been a key figure in the club’s defensive line, and his exit would mark a significant change for the team. However, Palace are balancing competitive ambitions with pragmatic considerations.

Newcastle United's interest stems from their need to strengthen their defense following recent squad developments. Acquiring Guehi would bolster their backline with a proven Premier League talent accustomed to top-flight competition. Negotiations between the two clubs are expected to progress rapidly as the transfer deadline approaches.
