Siem de Jong’s future at Newcastle United is very uncertain, the Dutchman spent last season on loan at PSV so wasn’t part of the rise from Championship to Premier League.
There’s been claims De Jong has been offered, by Newcastle, to PSV on a permanent transfer, but the player’s agent has rubbished this.
Speaking to Voetbal International, Louis Laros said: “That’s absolute nonsense. I really know nothing about it. The club could have done it behind my back, but that seems strong because I have good contacts with Newcastle.”
Laros is hopeful that De Jong can impress Benitez enough to have a meaningful future at Newcastle, but if not, and if signings come in which would threaten the Dutchman’s chances, a transfer isn’t ruled out.
Potential opportunities are being gathered and considered, so that should the time come that De Jong has to leave St James’ Park, he’s got a good idea of where he’ll be going.
