Vesper 31,087 Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Crystal Palace seek £70m for Tottenham target Marc Guehi with Real Madrid also showing interest Crystal Palace could see Marc Guehi depart the club this summer as several clubs, which includes Tottenham, have an eye on the England international. The centre-back started for the Three Lions at Euro 2024 this summer and was one of the only players within Gareth Southgate’s squad that came away from the tournament with credit in the bank. The Crystal Palace star put in some brilliant performances for England and it is even more impressive considering he missed a lot of the 2023/24 campaign through injury. Guehi has attracted the interest of several clubs over the past year and according to Sky Sports, they include Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Juventus, Newcastle, and Tottenham. The Englishman has a contract at Selhurst Park until 2026 and therefore, Crystal Palace will seek £70m to part ways with their star defender during the current transfer window – similar to Everton’s valuation of Jarrad Branthwaite. The London club will not want to lose another one of their best players ahead of the new season having already lost Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, which could make obtaining Guehi very difficult for interested parties. Do Tottenham need Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi? Guehi has been with Crystal Palace since moving from Chelsea in 2021 and has developed into one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League. It is not hard to see why clubs such as Tottenham are interested in the England international but do Spurs really need the player? Ange Postecoglou plays with only two central defenders and the Aussie coach already has Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero as his starters. Spurs even have a solid backup in Radu Dragusin. £70m is a lot to pay for Guehi if he is going to be rotated and the England star will not want that role. It is hard to see the defender making a move to North London this summer but many other clubs are showing an interest in the 24-year-old, as it remains to be seen if Crystal Palace are open to letting him go.

He wasn’t awful in his final season at United. In fact he was actually pretty solid. Just that the few howlers he did have were so bad that they got so much attention. Still a really good shot stopper probably but was poor with the ball at his feet. yes, I would have guessed the Saudis or MLS im the US would have snapped him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the feeling from the moment he was appointed Maresca would need a different GK to any of our options but I guess he & the directors felt like it was the right thing for him to spend time with them and assess them in person instead of relying on footage. That is kind of fair and correct to the players, "everyone gets a fresh start with me" etc, so fair enough tbh. The fees for top GKs have got pretty big now so idk where we will find the kind of value they're after while getting a clear upgrade on Sanchez tho. Edit: maybe I misread the tweet? To me it reads as "the new signing will be expected to start the season as number 1" but maybe it is supposed to mean that Sanchez is still expected to start as no.1? Let me translate, they want a goalkeeper as back up for Sanchez, because there is no market for him to get sold as he is a complete flush and Petrovic is easier to sell. My guess is they want a No.1 gk but Petrovic is easier to get rid. Mamadarshvili is there to get for relatively cheap and arguably a world class goalkeeper but these clowns want to search some of the dumbest profile possible.

Pizy 19,276 Posted July 20, 2024 Share Posted July 20, 2024 Even with Andrey & Ugo going out on loan I feel like 1 more midfielder has to go. And unless Gallagher signs a new contract it has to be him. It would be ridiculous for us to keep him, not play him much, and then see him walk for free in a year. mkh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it signals that Gallagher is going to stay after all. I think even Gallagher is going to leave. Its ruthless but it makes sense to sell him Caicedo, Enzo, Lavia, KDH, Carney are the main options. Carney, Palmer can play in the advanced midfield role. Veiga can play in the deeper role. They'll keep one of Casadei or Ugochukwu for cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he's capable of playing a deep midfield role doesn't mean that Maresca will immediately trust him in that role. I see Veiga as CB/LB cover as we all know Chilwell will have his usual injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 31,087 Posted July 21, 2024 Share Posted July 21, 2024 Chelsea https://thedailybriefing.io/i/146830102/Chelsea Andreas Pereira to Chelsea? Reports in Brazil suggest this could be on, with Fabrizio Romano responding to the story in his latest exclusive column. Andrey Santos will return to Strasbourg on loan after going on US tour with Chelsea - deal done. Borussia Dortmund and more clubs were keen on signing him but Andrey spoke to Liam Rosenior about the style of play implemented at Chelsea and Strasbourg. The young Brazilian midfielder remains a big part of Chelsea’s future plans. Romelu Lukaku keeps waiting for Napoli; he wants to work under Antonio Conte again. Romelu will reduce his salary from €11m/net per season to €6m until June 2027 to sign for Napoli. The deal depends on Napoli-Chelsea negotiations and on Victor Osimhen’s exit, with PSG pushing.

Vesper 31,087 Posted July 21, 2024 Share Posted July 21, 2024 and a big one goes off the table for good (he will turn 32 the summer this new contract expires)................. Inter Milan https://thedailybriefing.io/i/146830102/inter-milan Inter president Beppe Marotta confirms: “Lautaro Martinez has signed new deal at the club, it’s all sealed. It will be official in the next weeks.” Martinez is signing until June 2029 - a five-year contract for €9m net per season salary plus add-ons.

Pizy 19,276 Posted July 21, 2024 Share Posted July 21, 2024 Bringing in any keeper that’s not the immediate #1 is so dumb. Either go big for one of the world class ones like Mamar or Diogo Costa now or stick with what we have, see how they do until January, and if they aren’t up to it go big then. Bringing in someone now who may not even be better than the average keepers who are already here would be stupid. We’ve already made a mess for ourselves by stockpiling so many mediocre keepers on ridiculously long contracts. Costa would be transformational for this team but Porto would ask as much for him as superstar attacking players go for, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhsc 1,146 Posted July 21, 2024 Share Posted July 21, 2024 Honestly if they want 50m-60m euros, i.e. <= £50m, and even if he wants £300k a week, this would just seem like a no brainer to me - if they'd sell to us. Goalkeepers can play at a high level for way longer than other positions. His record speaks for itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
