Newcastle United are finally showing ambition in the transfer market. After signing Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, they are not wasting time.
The Magpies are on the hunt for a second striker. After that, they will sit down to discuss the departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
There are many strikers on the list of targets for Newcastle. However, the striker is not the only position Eddie Howe seeks reinforcement.
The English boss knows that if his team has to perform well against top European teams in the Champions League, he needs to strengthen his midfield.
Newcastle have already made an offer to Real Madrid for Aurelien Tchouameni. But the Los Blancos have rejected their €100 million offer.
This Newcastle attempt shows that they have the cash to spend. They just need to get the deals over the line.
After seeing the door to signing Tchouameni getting closed in front of their face, the Magpies are now turning their attention to a midfielder from the arch-rivals of Real Madrid.
According to Spanish sources, Newcastle United are now looking to sign a Barcelona midfielder. The €100 million offer they sent for Madrid is now ready to be offered to the Blaugrana.
Eddie Howe is desperately looking to add a good midfielder to strengthen his team. That is why the English boss is looking to sign Fermin Lopez from Barcelona.
Howe believes that Lopez can be a brilliant addition to his midfield. The Spaniard can bring the creative flair that Newcastle lack.
That is why Newcastle are ready to push forward for this Fermin Lopez deal as they look to create a team good enough to compete with the likes of Barcelona and PSG.
However, it is still remains to be seen whether Fermin Lopez shows interest in joining the Magpies as Hansi Flick rates him highly. But his sale will significantly boost Barcelona’s financials.
