The future of Allan Saint-Maximin should no longer be written in Tyne and Wear! An essential element of Newcastle since his arrival in 2019, the versatile 26-year-old striker is no longer unanimous within the English club. And for good reason, the fourth in the Premier League is ready to part with it this summer. The Frenchman (31 games, 1 goal and 5 assists TCC) has a good rating on the transfer market and according to our information, suitors have knocked on the door of the Magpies, like Al-Ahli and Napoli. However, the Saudi club has a head start on its Neapolitan counterpart insofar as a first oral proposal of 25 million euros has already been made to residents of St-James Park. In an interview given to DailyMailNewcastle manager Eddie Howe has justified his choice to place the former OGC Nice player on the transfer list in order to meet the requirements of financial fair play and in order to free up funds in the event of future purchases this summer.
“Allan is in talks for a transfer. With the FFP (financial fair play) we have to make transactions, otherwise we will be stuck this summer. I don’t want to lose him. The FFP obliges us to do so, to a lesser extent. It looks like that might happen. Sometimes these things have to happen for the club to grow.”, recognized the English coach. As a reminder, Newcastle recently paid no less than €70m to secure the services of Italian midfielder AC Milan, Sandro Tonali, and is now eyeing Leicester player Harvey Barnes.
