“Everybody’s wishes have to be taken into account but we are nowhere near the point where we have to make a decision. We will cross these bridges as and when we come to them.
“We love having him and would love to keep him, and if somebody wants to make that otherwise they have got to make it really difficult for us; at the moment, that’s not the situation we’re in.
“We all know the situation, we don’t need to have discussions about it.
“He is absolutely loyal to Crystal Palace, Marc wants to progress his career and if the right opportunity is there and it’s right for us, it’s something he might be interested in. He has certainly not put any pressure on the club.”
According to a new report from The Daily Mail , Newcastle have ‘made an improved fourth offer’ for Guehi and they are ‘close to a breakthrough’. It is also claimed that this new offer ‘could eclipse their £60m club-record move for Alexander Isak’.
‘The new package, closer to Palace’s minimum £65million valuation, is the Magpies’ fourth for the England international.
‘The third offer, comprising of £55million and an extra £5m in add-ons, was turned down by Palace.
‘The value of Newcastle’s new offer is unconfirmed – but, significantly, it is closer to the £65million mark. Sources are indicating the package has not been immediately dismissed and is being considered. And while it remains to be seen whether Palace accept the offer there is a sense now that a breakthrough is close.
‘The new offer comes after crucial talks between Newcastle sporting director Paul Mitchell and Palace co-owner Steve Parish – who are handling negotiations for their respective clubs.’
“I am (happy). It is good to be back here, to be playing again with team-mates and a (pre-season) run-out in front of some of the fans again, so it is all positive,” Guehi told Sky Sports.
“I am humbled by that (Parrish comments) – for someone who is a big part of this football club, for him to say something like that is amazing for someone like me.
“I am not sure I am a superstar, but it was some really kind words from the chairman.”
