Newcastle have ‘formulated official offer’ for signing – Magpies ‘still long way off’ asking price

Newcastle United have included Jack Harrison in their target list this summer.

Operating mainly on the left wing, he managed eight goals and an assist from 35 league games for Leeds United last season.

Jesse Marsch has stressed the 25-year-old is happy at the club, but also admitted there is a possibility of his sale amid Newcastle links.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the Tyneside club have ‘formulated an official offer’ for the attacker.

The proposal is around €28m and it is is likely to be rejected by their Premier League rivals because Newcastle are ‘still a long way off’ what Leeds would consider a acceptable offer.

Harrison has two years left on his contract at Elland Road. As per the report, the Whites value the former Manchester City man at around €42m.

That’s about the only information the outlet provides about Newcastle’s attempt to secure the player’s services. With Marsch’s side setting a price tag for Harrison, it needs to be seen whether the Magpies will return with an improved offer in the current window.
