Newcastle join Everton and Crystal Palace in race to sign £12m midfielder – Alan Nixon

Newcastle United are showing interest in Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl, according to Alan Nixon at The Sun.

He reports that Everton are currently ‘leading the race’ for the 21-year-old, but it’s believed Newcastle and Crystal Palace are also tracking the Germany U21 international ahead of the summer transfer window.

Rohl is enjoying a breakthrough season in the Bundesliga and has shown his versatility throughout, playing as a holding midfielder, second striker and down both flanks over the 2023/24 campaign.

The 6ft 3′ talent has two goals and four assists in 24 league games and was a regular in Freiburg’s run to the last 16 of the Europa League, where they were eventually knocked out by West Ham.

Nixon reports that he could be available for just £12m this summer, with Everton considering him a potential replacement for Amadou Onana; another midfielder Newcastle have been linked with in recent months.
