NEWCASTLE United and Crystal Palace are still in discussions over the transfer of centre-back Marc Guehi.
Palace want up to £70million for England international Guehi, 24, but reports say the Magpies could pull out of the deal over the price.
The saga has dragged on over much of the summer and the latest developments come after an injury suffered by new signing Chadi Riad and the departure of Joachim Andersen to Fulham for £30million.
The Eagles, meanwhile, are set to be boosted by the £18million signing of Maxence Lacroix from Wolfsburg.
The 24-year-old centre-back played for Palace boss Oliver Glasner at Wolfsburg.
