Newcastle will need to offer more money after their ₦124 billion bid to improve their defence was rejected.
Crystal Palace have reportedly rejected Newcastle's £60m bid for Marc Guehi, with the Eagles valuing the England international at £65m.
Newcastle's latest offer consisted of £55m upfront plus £5m in add-ons, but Palace remains firm in their asking price.
Talks between the two clubs continue, but the Magpies are exploring alternative centre-back options in case the deal falls through.

Newcastle have third bid for Guehi rejected
Guehi remains Eddie Howe's top target, but Palace chairman Steve Parish is unwilling to compromise on the price.
"If you want a superstar player, you need to pay superstar money," Parish stated on Tuesday, emphasizing the club's stance.
Newcastle made their £60m bid over the weekend, but Palace's refusal has prompted the Magpies to consider other options.
The negotiations are ongoing, but it remains to be seen if an agreement can be reached.
In a recent tweet, Oliseh suggested that missing the last World Cup, the Olympics, and having failed to lift the AFCON in over a decade has limited the choices of Super Eagles players in the transfer market.
“For Nigerian players to start breaking back into top European clubs and the huge benefits that follow it both to the nation and to the players, there is no secret; Our players need to start winning things and playing attractively at the National team levels. Simple!!”
