It may have been a little slow to get going, but Newcastle United’s inevitable jump in transfer rumours has started.
The club are being linked to impressive signings around Europe, and it all depends on their pending takeover.
There’s been a few stories suggesting Magpies interest in Kalidou Koulibaly.
The Napoli defender has been linked with Manchester United for the past year, with sources at the Serie A club informing the Italian media an offer worth more than €100m was knocked back in the summer.
Having then signed Harry Maguire from Leicester City, it would be doubtful whether United need to spend so much again, yet the claims have continued.
PSG have also been credited with an interest, however, it’s unlikely they’d be prepared to go to the heights Napoli are looking for.
Therefore, dragging Newcastle in was inevitable. With an assumption there’ll be endless money spent at the club, and completely ignoring FFP, Foot Mercato claim the English side have officially entered into talks with Napoli.
It doesn’t end there, with it also being claimed Steve Bruce’s side ‘dream’ of signing Edinson Cavani and Nabil Fekir.
