The tournament is the best stage for a star to become a star, and England centre-back Guehi seized Euro 2024 to become the main central defender of the Three Lions, and doubled his value with his excellent performance, and also changed a big contract.
According to an exclusive report from United Kingdom outlet The Telegraph, Newcastle are close to signing the 24-year-old English centre-back from Crystal Palace for a £60 million fee.
According to The Telegraph, although Newcastle-Crystal Palace talks over Guehi are not yet over, Newcastle are confident that the deal will be finalised within this week, with talks between the two sides now progressing well and all parties believe that a deal can be reached. Newcastle are keen to add a centre-back in the summer window, and Guehi is happy to join and the player's salary will be boosted.
Crystal Palace signed Guehi from Chelsea for a transfer fee of 20 million pounds in the summer window of 2021, and now he has been trained for 3 years, and the player has become the main force of Crystal Palace and England, and his value has doubled, and if he is sold for 60 million pounds, Crystal Palace can make a big profit of 40 million pounds, which is the survival of the middle and lower teams in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old Guehi, a 1.82-metre-tall, short centre-back, right-footed player, has a contract with Crystal Palace until 2026 and is valued at €38 million and has an annual salary of £2.6 million before tax. Guehi made 29 appearances for Palace in all competitions last season, starting 25 of them and providing one assist; Euro 2024 made six appearances with England, starting all of them and providing one assist.
