- Newcastle have submitted a fourth bid for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi
- Sources say the new package, worth around £65m, is being considered.
- The deal could eclipse Newcastle’s record £60m Alexander Isak transfer
Newcastle have submitted an improved offer for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, Mail Sport understands.
The new package, closer to Palace’s minimum valuation of £65m, is the fourth the Magpies have offered the England international.
The third offer, which included £55m and an extra £5m in add-ons, was rejected by Palace.
The value of Newcastle’s new offer is not confirmed, but it is significant that it is closer to £65m. Sources indicate that the package has not been immediately ruled out and is being considered.
And while it remains to be seen whether Palace accept the offer, there is now a sense that a breakthrough is close to being made.

The deal could eclipse the fee Newcastle paid for Alexander Isak to become their record purchase.
The new offer comes after crucial talks between Newcastle sporting director Paul Mitchell and Palace co-owner Steve Parish, who are handling negotiations for their respective clubs.
If the bid is successful, the deal could eclipse the 2022 signing of Alexander Isak, who joined Newcastle in a deal worth around £60million, as the Magpies’ record signing.
Guehi’s departure would also represent Palace’s most expensive exit, surpassing Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s £50m transfer to Manchester United in 2019.
