Newcastle United’s planned takeover would likely be disabled, but that hasn’t stopped rumors of the move from changing.
Magpies’ lead executive, Lee Charnley, insisted that Newcastle would cause Steve Bruce to move to the summer market after PCP Capital Partners, the Reuben brothers and the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund withdrew from the acquisition.
As such, Bruce is willing to bring a new striker to the club, but United is about to face a tough festival for Bournemouth striker Josh King.
Meanwhile, the race at one end of Liverpool intensifies, while Newcastle has also connected with a Colombian international.
Here is a summary of the gossip about Newcastle United’s transfers.
Southampton joined Newcastle and Leeds in the race to point to Liverpool winger Harry Wilson.
According to Mail Online, the Reds 20 million pounds for the Welsh international.
The 23-year-old scored seven goals on loan at Bournemouth last season, however Liverpool is believed to have taken credit for their academic product this summer.
Chronicle Live understands that there has still been some contact between Newcastle and Wilson’s representatives.
Newcastle needs to point to the Norwegian foreign striker this summer, but is expected to be a wanted man, according to the Sun.
King, whom Manchester United tried to re-sign in January, is interested in 10 Premier League clubs. In addition to the Magpies, Everton and Brighton have also registered their interest.
Four Serie A clubs are also ideal for exciters, giants Roma, Roma and Lazio.
But, perhaps surprisingly, the 28-year-old has a surprise goal for Ligue 1 champion PSG.
Bournemouth is not in a position to sell King for less than 25 million pounds.
Newcastle and AC Milan are interested in a summer for Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Wilmar Barrios.
Discussions about the Win Connection report (via SportWitness) are progressing, but it is known which club is closest to signing the 26-year-old.
Barrios, who joined Zenit in 2019 from Boca Juniors, is best deployed as a defensive midfielder and has won 28 caps for Colombia.
Yedlin’s representatives hope to get an explanation from the magpies about the player’s long term in the coming week.
The wing-back is currently in quarantine after returning from a trip home to the US and it is thought he is keen on a return to the United States.
