Memphis Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 It's long been known he was going to leave this summer, we have apparently been monitoring him as have all the usual big clubs. It's a 30m Euro release clause and they've been pressuring him to sign a new contract with a bigger clause, but he has refused to. He's ready to move.

54 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Sid Lowe et all on the Spanish Football Podcast rave about it, though he's apparently gone off the boil a little these last few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Looks decent from the one minute I've seen on YouTube. Shame he's not Brazilian though. I dream of the next World Cup being dominated by a Brazil team made up of Newcastle players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 8 minutes ago, Memphis said: He's a box-to-box type but has played a more forward role in the last few months for Celta. Just turned 21. He's almost 6 feet tall, so another one with some size. Highly rated. Can take on defenders with a dribble. He's not a great passer yet but has potential to be, plenty of energy though. Feels like he would be a versatile type, I think he could play as a 10, 8, or a 6. Probably start as a 6, I'd guess. His highlights reel make him resemble a Spanish N'golo Kante, to be fair. Fast, energetic, tenacious, tackles well, can dribble, technically solid. Seems to play in the role that Howe has Bruno playing now - deep-lying transitional.

He was linked with R Madrid but they have a lot of mids plus Jude to come so I didn’t get the links He’s a fantastic talent fwiw really gifted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 £30m seems a good price for someone that age, current ability and potential like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I swear down if Kev Lawson ruins my buzz over this signing with another over-analytical 40 thread tweet of the lad then I hope we just scrap the deal and sign McTominay for £50m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 So he'd be more of a 6 to either cover Bruno or allow him to play further forward? Rather than a Maddison/Dom S type Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 My intermediate Spanish gives me the impression that the full article is more generic than the headline. Nothing too solid about it, other than Celta accept he will leave in the summer and that Real aren’t as interested since securing Bellingham. Perhaps lines-up with that report a month or so back with officials visiting Spain to talk to agents and clubs, think he was one of the names mentioned.
