As they try to improve their defense, Newcastle United might have to go back to the drawing board.
After losing a vital transfer target, Newcastle United's irritating summer transfer window appears to be coming to an end.
With the signings of Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as the compensation package from Manchester United for sporting director Dan Ashworth, the Magpies began to wrestle with their Profit and Sustainability ( PSR ) position.
Following next season's on-loan spell on loan at Chelsea, Lewis Hall has signed on a continuous offer while William Osula has signed for Sheffield United. Goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos has signed from Nottingham Forest. Lloyd Kelly and John Ruddy have joined on completely payments, but the team's goal has been a fresh centre-back.
Marc Guehi, a 24-year-old international defender, impressed with the Three Lions at Euro 2024, but the Eagles resisted making three offers and demanded that his £65 million assessment be met.
Newcastle's needed for a new key defender is even more pressing after Fabian Schar was sent off against Southampton this weekend, farther exposing the team's lack of depth in the place, but the latest transfer growth at Palace does also mean the team has to look elsewhere.
According to The Athletic, Fulham have reached an agreement in principle with the Eagles to mark centre-back Joachim Anderson for a fee of about £30million, more reducing the chances of Palace letting Guehi move. Anderson was a major player last winter at Fulham before joining the club for free in the summer of 2021. He spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Fulham from Lyon.
For Newcastle, it means the team will now have to appear at other targets, with The Athletic adding that the team are in discussions with Bayer Leverkusen over a move for Edmond Tapsoba and have expressed an interest in Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.
In DataVictory's mind, it's occasion for Newcastle to move on from Guehi. Palace have raised lots of money this summertime following the sale of Michael Olise and the fact that they are willing to allow Anderson exit means they obviously do not foresee a future without Guehi.
The Magpies will no doubt had a long list of targets and if they are to appear to Europe, they may be able to get a cheaper player and prevent the' English player income' that may occur with Guehi's signing. Given that the ten days are running out, day is not on their part, but Disasi's interest is unmistakably given that Chelsea are determined to reduce their squad size before the August 30 deadline.
