Newcastle are being stripped. This summer, the Magpies, who saw Eddie Howe leave a few days ago, lost Sandro Tonali and even Anthony Gordon. This Friday, the Toons will let Bruno Guimarães slip away from Arsenal. A transfer estimated at more than €87 million. At a press conference, Matthias Jaissl, the new coach of the English club, commented on this obviously very important loss.
“ We lost some very important players, but it’s also an opportunity. We can look at things negatively and make excuses, but that’s not the way we think. We have the means to act on the market and, when the season starts, there will be new faces.” Among them, Newcastle supporters are waiting to know the player who will replace the Brazilian midfielder. A few days ago, Felix Nmecha was announced as the number one candidate to succeed him.
Newcastle have identified their priority in the middle
At the end of his contract in 2030 at Borussia Dortmund, the Hamburg-born German took part in 42 matches in all competitions last season. He scored 5 goals and delivered 3 assists. The 25-year-old’s profile appeals to St James’ Park. But not only that. Manchester United and Manchester City, who want to strengthen their midfield, are also on board. But the Magpies do not intend to let themselves be overtaken. This Friday, Sky Germany explains that Newcastle, which has started discussions with the player’s representatives, intends to make an offer to BVB. The Marsupials, through sports director Ole Book, have been clear on this subject.
“I find this extremely improbable. Of course, astronomical sums are always theoretically possible, but I think I can almost rule out this possibility for Felix Nmecha this summer. » A departure is therefore not in the club’s plans, which will review its position if a good proposal arrives. Sky Germany explains that Borussia Dortmund can let their player leave if an offer of between €100 and €120 million arrives during this transfer window. Newcastle will therefore have to put their hand in their pocket for a player who had a clause of €80 million to leave this summer. But it is now outdated.
