Newcastle United’s pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has encountered a major obstacle after Palace reportedly agreed to sell Guehi’s defensive partner, Joachim Andersen, to Fulham. The Magpies had made Guehi their top defensive target this summer, submitting four bids for the 24-year-old England international, all of which have been rejected by Palace.
However, the situation has become even more complicated now that Fulham has reached a deal with Palace to sign Andersen for £30 million, including add-ons. The 28-year-old Danish defender, who has two years remaining on his contract, previously spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Fulham before moving to Palace from Lyon. During his time at Selhurst Park, Andersen formed a strong partnership with Guehi, making his departure a potential reason for Palace to hold on to Guehi. This has left Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe frustrated in his attempts to strengthen his defensive line.
The club is now reportedly exploring alternatives, with Liverpool’s Joe Gomez emerging as a possible target. In what has been a difficult transfer window, Newcastle’s notable additions include Lloyd Kelly on a free transfer, while Lewis Hall’s loan from Chelsea has been made permanent, alongside signings like Odysseas Vlachodimos, William Osula, and John Ruddy.
