Newcastle United transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

FutbolArena claims Besiktas’ negotiations for FC Porto’s Vincent Aboubakar have stalled because of the serious interest from Newcastle United.

The Turkish champions want Aboubakar to remain at the club for next season, as their manager Senol Gunes hopes to keep his title winning squad together.

Besiktas’ Umut Guner, who heads the club’s transfer committee, was in Portugal last week for transfer talks with Porto, but FutbolArena say Newcastle United’s interest has changed things. The Turkish website claims Rafael Benitez is very interested in signing Aboubakar this summer.

It’s also been reported Besiktas board are unhappy about Newcastle United’s interest in the forward because they believe they can’t compete financially with the Premier League side.

FutbolArena have reported Newcastle United are already in advanced negotiations with Porto regarding signing Aboubakar, and Besiktas are currently not in pole position to sign their loanee from last season.

Besiktas upset that they can't compete finacially with English clubs, looks like he won't be going there whoever he ends up with.

 

Don't like judging players based on those highlight reel clips but the lad does seem to have a nice touch. I like strikers who aren't afraid to run at defenders.

Going into the last year of his contract so looks like he will be available for a very reasonable fee.

This makes me think we will be interested.

 

:lol: Yeah, as soon as I saw that I felt the story was for real.

 

Plus we were interested in him when he first left France to join Porto.

Some outrageous skill in his one vs one dribbling clips on youtube.

He's followed us on twitter n'all.

Some nob has already updated his wiki page.

 

It's not just that they've added:
