Marc Guehi is once again linked with a potential summer switch to Newcastle United.
Marc Guehi named St James’ Park as his favourite Premier League stadium as talk about a Newcastle United move intensifies.
Toon chiefs failed to land the Crystal Palace captain last summer amid an ongoing PSR struggle. Eagles chairman Steve Parish demanded “superstar money” for Guehi, who had enjoyed a stellar Euro 2024 campaign with England.
However, fast forward to the present and Newcastle are in a stronger negotiating position. The Magpies are no longer gripped tightly by PSR constraints given their lack of high-profile signings in recent windows.

Guehi also has just one year on his contract left to run and, as it stands, does not appear to be close to an extension. Chelsea - the academy he graduated from - and Liverpool reportedly expressed interest throughout the 2024-25 campaign.
Marc Guehi remains prime Newcastle United target
The Telegraph named Guehi as a prime target for Newcastle as Eddie Howe aims to bolster his ranks ahead of a Champions League adventure. A clear message from the Toon boss following the final-day defeat to Everton urged the St James’ Park to get their business done early.
Howe met with club chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan once Champions League football was secured and a big summer is expected on Tyneside. NewcastleWorld understands a centre-back remains a priority despite Dan Burn and Fabian Schar excelling.
Both players are approaching their mid-30s and Sven Botman’s injury woes have continued to make the position an area of concern. A top-level central defender would be welcome as Newcastle aim to ease the pressure of European demands.
Marc Guehi loves St James’ Park
Should Guehi prove that player, Toon supporters can be safe knowing he will feel right at home. The 24-year-old loves St James’ Park - ranking the iconic ground as his favourite in the Premier League.
“Schalke’s stadium was very good,” he told England’s media channel last summer. “I’d say, in the Premier League, probably Newcastle. St James’ Park is just really, really loud in there, the fans make it really difficult when you go there so yeah, probably St James’ Park.”

We won't sell all of them.”
