According to claim in the Austrian media, Newcastle United will tonight send a scout to the game between RB Salzburg and Marseille.
Laola1 have confirmed Newcastle United are on the scouting list tonight’s Europa League semi final, and they will be joined by fellow Premier League sides Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, West Ham, Leicester.
The game is also attracting interest from across Europe with reports Borussia Dortmund, Stuttgart, Hoffenheim, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Napoli, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Lyon will be attendance in Salzburg.
There have been no reports who Newcastle United will be monitoring tonight, but this isn’t the first time they’ve scouted Marseille this season.
Earlier in the season we covered reports the Magpies travelled to the south of France to watch Marseille take on Montpellier.
Newcastle United have in recent seasons looked to the French leagues to recruit players, with some success, but also with some failures.
