Newcastle are hoping to structure a deal so that they can secure an agreement with Guehi before the window shuts.
The central defender is keen to join Newcastle, which is a boost for the north-east giants in their attempt to secure Guehi.
Crystal Palace could accept Marc Guehi bid from Newcastle
Eddie Howe is looking to bolster his defensive options this summer as Jamal Lascelles and Sven Botman are out injured until 2025.
The Magpies have now turned their attention to Guehi, who has impressed during his spell at Crystal Palace and more recently with England.
The former Chelsea graduate has made 111 appearances in all competitions for the Eagles, scoring five goals.
Newcastle’s might be trying to sign one England international, but they could be set to lose another in this window as Kieran Trippier is headed for the exit door.
