The Butcher Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) https://twitter.com/MailSport/status/1663197133527216133?t=xg3RSNSTgZVVCSDHbiP2Sw&s=19 Ferran Torres. Yes please. And Newcastle have held discussions over the merits of Torino centre-back Perr Schuurs. The stylish 23-year-old Holland centre-back also has strong interest from Crystal Palace, who are wary of losing Marc Guehi this window. Torino have been trying to convince Schuurs to stay but may find it difficult to resist decent offers. Newcastle hold an interest in Napoli's Kim Min-jae but believe Manchester United are leading that chase ahead of themselves and PSG while Schuurs would be cheaper. Newcastle scout Mick Tait watched Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres at Wembley on Saturday. The Swedish international is a £25m target for Brentford.

WilliamPS Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 £53m for Ugarte - worth a rival bid at that price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the release clause so unfortunately you’d imagine clubs offer to pay it and it’s down to the offer of the player. Chelsea seem to be in for him now.

TRon Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 We'll have to be cute with our transfer targets, a lot of our first choices will be chased by the big 6 teams, and we aren't allowed to spend like they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 3 x Class A - £40m plus each - stars - Botman, Bruno etc 2 x Class B - £20m each - solid pickups - Pope, Trippier 2/3 x Class C - £5m each - potential/youth - from lower leagues - Ashby etc 1 x top quality loan - if Man U and Chelsea can loan in Sabitzer and Felix then surely we can get one in too. Position-wise I think we need to be a bit flexible but some areas need to be addressed this window - LB, CM/DM, RW. After that we need to think about trading and moving players on as and where necessary. Contract situations will come into things and it may make sense to make big decisions that may be initially unpopular - selling Wilson/Longstaff or something like that. I'd also consider decent money for ASM, Almiron, Murphy, Burn, Lascelles and Targett provided they're replaced on top of that lot above. Obviously there are another half a dozen that need to leave for the benefit of all parties - Darlow, Lewis, Fraser etc. This window is all about trimming the fat, removing the squad of players who contribute little/nothing, next season is going to be pivotal and each one of the 25 needs to be as fit, motivated and good as possible, can't afford to carry a single one of them. Looking forward to seeing how it shapes up over the next 3 months, big task but I'm confident they'll deliver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has ideas of 7/8 players coming in at the start of every summer window, and by the last week of it, we're hoping we can atleast bring in a forth I reckon 2 A class 2 B class. This is more what I think will happen, rather than what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hoping we can also be proactive on outgoings early in the window as well. Plenty of players to potentially move on: Dubravka, Darlow, Manquillo, Lascelles, Lewis, Fraser, Hendrick, Hayden etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 https://twitter.com/jac_talbot/status/1663222989679099904?s=20 Sky Germany report there were talks between Szoboszlai’s reps and Newcastle: as previously reported, attacker has a €70 million clause. It’s also thought his salary would not be a problem for Magpies. Patently clear Szoboszlai wants to join Newcastle, but whether they’ll pay €70m is another matter. Guess it’ll be on them next to either meet release clause or make an offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 It'll be him or Maddison. He'll go for well below the "release clause" with Leipzig needing cash. We'll be testing the water with both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 So Maddison for £40m or Szoboszlai for £65m? I've no doubt Szoboszlai is good but Maddison seems like a safe bet and much cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
