The two clubs are already locked in tense negotiations over Toon striker Alexander Isak and are now battling over Selhurst star Guehi.

Newcastle missed out on Guehi 12 months ago after refusing to meet the then asking price of £70m, having a number of bids rising to £65m turned down.

Liverpool have had a £40m bid dismissed by Parish, while Newcastle again are not prepared to come up with the asking price, leaving Guehi in limbo.

It’s the same with his international team-mate Eberechi Eze, with north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham not prepared to pay his £68m release clause and Palace once again standing firm.

Palace have enjoyed a resurgence on the pitch under Oliver Glasner and secured a 12th-place finish in the Premier League last season after stunning Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

The Eagles were forced to contend with the departure of Michael Olise last summer, with the talented winger heading to Germany to sign for Bayern Munich.

But the squad regrouped and enjoyed a stunning season under the guidance of their Austrian manager.

Newcastle, meanwhile, have shelled out around £55m to sign Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest as they prepare for their return to the Champions League.

The north east giants have also brought in former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on loan from Southampton and have the option to make the deal permanent.

And the club are also chasing the signature of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, with the Slovenia international’s arrival potentially paving the way for Isak to complete a move to Anfield.
