Crystal Palace fans have just waved goodbye to Joachim Andersen and Jordan Ayew – but now there could be another departure.
Steve Parish allowed the Denmark international to join Fulham for £30m, while Ayew was sold to Leicester in an £8m deal – a good return on the £2.5m originally spent to sign the Ghana international from Swansea.
The fans will be happy with this deal as long as the replacements are signed – we believe – although Crystal Palace now risk upsetting the fans as another sale is seriously considered…
Crystal Palace and Newcastle close to Marco Guehi deal
A story from the Daily Mail now says Crystal Palace and Newcastle are close to agreeing a deal for Marco Guehi in a £70m deal.
A new round of negotiations is due to take place on Monday – which has been positive for the Magpies – and Newcastle’s next offer is expected to be accepted.
The Daily Mail add that Crystal Palace are indeed considering selling Guehi – despite the transfer window being less than four days away and having already sold Andersen.
Should Crystal Palace accept Newcastle’s bid, the England international could still decide to reject a move to Tyneside and stay at Selhurst Park, although it is unlikely Parish would ever receive the £70m fee for the 24-year-old. . star, who will only have 12 months left on his contract next summer.

Whatever happens with Guehi, Dougie Freedman is close to signing a new quarterback regardless.

Some might argue that even with Lacroix secured if Guehi were to follow Andersen from SE25, although we mustn’t forget the presence of Chadi Riad, who signed a £14m deal from Real Betis earlier in the summer. prepare for such a situation.
Don’t forget to stay tuned to Crystal Palace as we look forward to a busy week ahead.
