With Newcastle United now firmly in with a chance of playing in the Champions League, St James’ Park is becoming an even more attractive destination for players.
Should the Magpies qualify for the elite European competition, their pool of potential signings will increase considerably, with every footballer wanting to get a chance of hearing that iconic music.
Sergej Milinković-Savić is among those who has that dream, and Newcastle could give him that next year, as Gazzetta dello Sport continue to push the idea that Eddie Howe wants him.
At this point, there are ‘no chances for a renewal’ down the player’s end, who has made it clear he wants to leave Lazio to try something new next season, meaning his ‘departure is already projected for the summer’.
Lazio want around €40m for him, and it’s pointed out that both Arsenal and Newcastle ‘have reappeared’ in England as suitors of his.
It’s added that the Premier League ‘is a very welcome destination’ for him, but with both clubs focusing on the end of their campaign for the time being, it’s no surprise that Lazio have had ‘no concrete signs’ about a transfer just yet.
Therefore, we might have to wait a bit longer before Newcastle come knocking in person, but once that Champions League football is secured, Rome could be one of their first destinations.
Meanwhile, as previously reported, it seems the Magpies will continue to work out the best way to attack this file once they have the chance to.
