Liverpool, Newcastle Pursue Palace's Marc Guehi

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, in the final year of his contract, is attracting strong interest from both Liverpool and Newcastle United, but neither club has met Palace's £40-50 million valuation. Liverpool have had two bids rejected and, after selling Jarell Quansah, are considering other defensive targets. Newcastle, after multiple rejected bids, may revive their pursuit with a £40 million offer if Palace lower their asking price late in the transfer window. Guehi is reportedly content at Palace and may choose to run down his contract, potentially leaving on a free transfer next summer. Palace, preparing for a European campaign, remain determined not to sell cheaply. Both Liverpool and Newcastle are seeking defensive reinforcements amid contract uncertainties for key players.
