Marc Guehi is valued at around 65 million pounds, but Newcastle will try to negotiate a lower price, as his contract expires in one year. Bryan Mbeumo is expected to cost in the region of 50–60 million pounds, with Manchester United also showing interest in him.
Newcastle finished fifth in the Premier League and won the League Cup after beating Liverpool – the club’s first trophy in decades. This puts Eddie Howe’s team in an excellent position for potential transfers of quality reinforcements.
“Everything is ready, all the analysis and player selection work is done. Now it’s just about pressing the button and closing the deals. We know who we want,” a club source told The Telegraph.
The Premier League transfer window will be open from 1 to 10 June and again from 16 June to 1 September.
