Goal Brasil today shows up with a fresh story about the future of Marcos Leonardo, who’s a target for Newcastle United.
Also confirming the interest from the Magpies, this piece brings a perspective from Santos and the player’s entourage about his move to Europe.
First of all, they back up claims that Newcastle and Real Madrid have both made contact to know more about the situation, but haven’t placed their bids yet.
Santos are said to be demanding a minimum of €15m for his sale, willing to add some bonuses, and would accept to let him go in January.
Marcos Leonardo’s entourage is said to be looking for a bid worth that amount. AS Roma already tried in the summer, but couldn’t succeed, and now Real Madrid and Newcastle are the new contenders.
According to Goal, the striker’s staff believe a Premier League move would be ‘interesting’ for the player’s future, regardless of what clubs he joins there.
That’s undoubtedly a boost for Newcastle, who have all the details on his situation. This is probably the first time this €15m price tag is reported, as other stories used to say €20-25m, although Goal makes it clear that some bonuses should be added to that initial amount.
