Newcastle Club Want Neymar After Determining Cristiano Ronaldo Would be a Bad Fit! OMG Shocking.
According to reports, Newcastle United is considering a move for PSG’s Brazilian superstar Neymar in the upcoming transfer window after deciding that Cristiano Ronaldo would not be a good fit for the team.
The club’s ownership is said to be contemplating a deal to sign the talented attacker as they aim to add a left-sided player to their squad. The possibility of Neymar joining Newcastle has been fueled further by the player himself, who liked a tweet referring to PSG as a “small club.”
In a tweet by Goated News on Twitter, it has been reported that Newcastle is the only Premier League team capable of welcoming Neymar this summer. 90min reports that the club can afford to finance Neymar’s move as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Although Ronaldo has also been mentioned as a potential target for Newcastle, it is believed that he would not fit straight into Eddie Howe’s squad. In contrast, Neymar is seen as a more attainable option, with PSG apparently willing to approve a deal.
Furthermore, according to a report from Goal.com, Joelton, Newcastle United’s Brazilian striker, has made an ambitious transfer plea to Neymar, stating that the number 10 shirt is waiting for him at the club.
Meanwhile, PSG’s ultras have staged a protest outside Neymar’s house in Paris, urging him to leave the club. However, PSG knows that it would be almost impossible to recoup the £194.3 million they spent to acquire Neymar, and they have placed an asking price of around £75 million on the player.
Despite the transfer rumors, Neymar’s focus is on helping PSG win the Ligue 1 title this season, with the club currently five points ahead of second-placed Marseille with five games remaining.
