Newcastle United will have to pay almost £20million to land Matteo Guendouzi, with the former Arsenal man reportedly being targeted for a transfer.
The France international returned to Ligue 1 with Marseille in the summer of 2021, initially on loan, before a deal was made permanent. The 24-year-old has impressed since, being part of a Marseille side who have pushed PSG hard this season and currently sit second in the table, losing just twice in the league since the return from the World Cup break in January.
The interest from Newcastle and a host of other Premier League clubs was first reported by L’Équipe, with Foot Mercato adding that Marseille want to move the player on and replace him with current Chelsea loanee Dennis Zakaria. This comes as Newcastle seek to add Champions league experience to their squad this summer.
