It didn’t take long for the Saudi takeover at Newcastle United to change the club’s level, as they currently stand in a serious position to have a place in the Champions League next season.
That would obviously seriously impact the kind of players they will be able to attract to the Magpies, and big signings could be set to continue in the coming transfer window.
It turns out that according to Cadena Ser (via AS), Newcastle are now coming for another European star.
The outlet shows up today with a story saying the Magpies could be a destination for Portuguese forward João Félix.
The player belongs to Atletico Madrid, and since he’s not been able to impress with his current loan in the Premier League over at Stamford Bridge, the La Liga side may have to find another exit for him.
The Colchoneros first expected to make €100m with his sale, but it’s now said that ‘they would be delighted’ in receiving €70-80m for him at this point, especially because Diego Simeone doesn’t want him back.
The story claims that money isn’t a problem for Newcastle, and as they had already been interested in this signing before Félix moved to England, they may have a new chance in the summer.
