ExiledGeordie Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 (edited) I have a feeling Barnes will be off (I think he’ll be away in the summer anyway) Edited December 19, 2024 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Reports we've agreed with Bakayoko and his agent. Now just negotiating with PSV. Trying to bring the price down with his current contract up in 2026. https://www.voetbalkrant.com/nieuws/2024-12-18/transfer-van-bakayoko-krijgt-vorm-maar-er-is-nog-een-obstakel-psv-houdt-onterecht-vast-aan-deze-hoge-vraagprijs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madueke? Mbuemo. Raphina, Ferran Torres have been linked in the past too. CF - Kolo Muani on loan with option, Sesko in the summer All these above our wage budget.

That, and a good injury record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 Also I did a firefox translate of the page and apparently "Negotiations between Newcastle and PSV are a lot of stiff stingy." Make of that what you will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 3 minutes ago, andycap said: How much they wanting for him? According to that article, they want 50 million Euros, we want to pay 30, Transfermarkt values him at 40. So presumably 40 million euros gets the job done unless someone else comes in. 40 million Euros is about £33 million currently. I wish we'd joined the single currency so my keyboard would have a euros symbol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikky Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 FWIW - Brentford agreed 40m euros in Aug 2023 I think £30m will get this done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was linked last year, I watched a few of their European games and I really liked him. Think around £35 million would be a very fair price, yeah. Still a young guy, but has nice experience in a top Dutch team going for the league, and also in Europe too. That 30 to 40 million price range has been good for us. Decent enough to get us some quality players without breaking the bank. Edited December 19, 2024 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He plays on the right wing, so it shouldn't do. Should improve our overall play though, as he's much better than the current options we have there.

Not seen him before, his numbers are impressive but the Dutch league isn’t the best. Technical/Skillful and powerfully built. My favourite thing from what I saw was that he plays with his head up and isn't just a head down running winger with no awareness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
