Newcastle bid goes public as €30m goal has price ticket reduce to €15m – One to look at?

Over the summer time, we revealed Newcastle United’s curiosity Fiorentina’s Michael Kayode; a younger Italian right-back thought-about a possible long-term substitute for Kieran Trippier.

Nothing got here of it and Trippier stayed put, however with our former captain prone to depart in 2025 and extra competitors required for Tino Livramento when the time comes, we’ll be maintaining a tally of accessible right-backs.

This brings us to the newest claims popping out of Italy, the place an replace has arrived on Kayode’s availability.

Florence-based outlet FirenzeViola have revealed that Newcastle, Tottenham and Aston Villa had gives rejected in the summertime for Kayode, stating that Fiorentina had been holding out for €30m on the time.

Quick ahead a number of months, nonetheless, the 20-year-old has grown annoyed by his restricted recreation time this season and may very well be on the transfer in January for a cut-price price.

Subsequent month might come too quickly for Newcastle, who may very well be prioritising a right-winger or centre-back as a substitute ought to funds enable it, however they might sense a possibility to strike a cut price, with Fiorentina reportedly slashing their asking value to €15m.

A ‘half-price’ deal might nicely attraction if we did certainly make a bid over the summer time, particularly if we discovered a purchaser for Trippier subsequent month earlier than his contract expires on the finish of the season.

In Tino Livramento we’re in secure palms, but it surely is probably not lengthy till we’re requiring additional depth at right-back.

Kieran Trippier’s future is unsure, with stories suggesting this can be his final season on the membership. He’s stepped in fantastically over the past two video games, however with enormous wages, the lack of captaincy to Bruno and his contract coming to an finish subsequent yr, 2025 seems just like the yr he departs.

It additionally stays to be seen if we’ll hold Emil Krafth. The Swede is reliable when match, however he’s had his fair proportion of damage points – he’s at present out with a collarbone challenge – and can go away on a free in June if he doesn’t signal a brand new deal over the approaching months.

Personally, I believe Krafth indicators a brand new deal and will quickly act as cowl for Livramento, however you possibly can see why the membership are weighing up their choices at right-back.
