According to the latest report from Keith Downie, a well-known reporter from Sky Sports, English Premier League team Newcastle United has submitted a third offer to Crystal Palace for defender Gueye. This shows Newcastle United's determination to sign the powerful defender.
Reports suggest that the Crystal Palace side are seriously considering this improved offer, suggesting that negotiations between the two sides have reached a crucial stage. This latest offer was reportedly made by the Newcastle United side last weekend and aims to move closer to Crystal Palace's valuation of Gueye.
In the past few weeks, Newcastle United has made two offers to Crystal Palace, but both failed to reach the other side's asking price. Crystal Palace's valuation of Gueye is around £65 million, while Newcastle United's offer last week was around £50 million, leaving a gap between the two sides. However, from the latest situation, Newcastle United apparently did not give up, but chose to continue to raise the price, in order to be able to impress Crystal Palace.
For Newcastle United, Gueye is undoubtedly a very important reinforcement target. As an experienced defender, Gueye has shown excellent ability and stability in the defensive end, and is one of the core players in Crystal Palace's backline. If Gueye can be successfully signed, the defensive strength of Newcastle United will be significantly improved, so as to be more competitive in the new season.
Of course, the Crystal Palace side will not let go their core players easily. They are well aware of the value and importance of Gueye, so they will also stick to their position and asking price in the negotiation. However, with the submission of Newcastle United's third offer, the negotiations between the two sides are also expected to make new progress.
Currently, the negotiation is still in progress, and the concrete results are still waiting for further communication and negotiation between the two sides. However, it is foreseeable that this transfer battle over Gueye will be very intense and compelling.
