The media revealed that after Newcastle United determined to strengthen Ilanga on offense, coach Eddie Howe and the decision-maker have clearly listed the central defender's signing as the next priority, and the club is striving to compete for Crystal Palace star Mark Guy. The Magpies submitted an improved quotation of 55 million pounds to Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Ilanga this month, and at the same time strengthened the multi-line season in the Champions League, and the signing plans of other positions were promoted simultaneously.
Newcastle successfully defeated Real Madrid, Barcelona and Porto before and signed Antonio Cordro, whose contract expired, with the expiring star of Malaga. The club has been determined to win the long-term goal of Guy in the remaining time in the summer window. They have not given up on the Guy deal, and although Crystal Palace rejected Tottenham's £70 million bid in the winter window, Newcastle has always regarded the England international as a key goal to strengthen the defense. Sources revealed: Newcastle is still chasing Guy, although the possibility of its transition to St James Park continues to decline.
24-year-old Guy was praised as a "superstar" by Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish. With only 12 months left in his contract, Eddie Howe smelled the possibility of introducing at a low price, and Crystal Palace would never be willing to bear the risk of its free departure next summer. Gee meets strategic needs, and the club is eager to stimulate existing central defenders such as Schell, Dan Bourne, and Botman through heavy stimulation.
It is reported that Newcastle has also locked in Guy's alternative target. Realizing that Liverpool may lose in the Guy battle after joining the competition, Newcastle is actively exploring the feasibility of Atlanta central defender Scalvini's transfer. Atlanta is trying its best to stop this potential transfer, and they are unwilling to lose their defensive core before the start of Serie A in the new season. But the player is indeed on the list of Eddie Howe's signings.
As Juventus withdraws from the bidding, Newcastle may also turn to Marseille central defender Valerdi. Club executives hope to accelerate the upgrade of the lineup. In addition, Newcastle is also inspecting Liverpool's European Youth Championship core Xavi Elliott.
