The report adds that the 20 year old striker will be given the chance during the pre-season to prove that he is ready for first team football at Liverpool. It will be interesting to see if he can convince Jurgen Klopp in the coming weeks.

Report: BNG in direct contact with Ronaldo, plan to sign him if NUFC takeover goes through
According to The Telegraph, Bellagraph Nova Group are in direct contact with Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo and will look to sign him and such calibre of players if their planned takeover of Newcastle United goes through. The group claim to have tabled a £280 million bid for the St. James’ Park outfit, but current owner Mike Ashley is holding out for £340 million. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, PCP Capital Partners and the Reuben Brothers pulled out of a £300 million deal to buy Newcastle last month after the Premier League’s Owners’ and Directors’ Test frustrated their efforts, and the BN Group are now looking to swoop with the Sports Direct owner very keen to sell.

It has been reported that Leeds – who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship – have opted against making a move for Longstaff. The 20-year-old midfielder is out of contract at Newcastle and is a free agent at the moment. Udinese and Leeds’s Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United are also interested in the England Under-20 international midfielder, according to the report. Bad decision from Leeds United? Longstaff has made only a handful of appearances for Newcastle in his career, but reported interest from Udinese and the Blades show just how good he is. The 2...
Report: BN Group want Alan Shearer as Newcastle manager if takeover goes through
According to The Sun, the Bellagraph Nova Group believe that they are at an advanced stage of negotiating with wantaway Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley as they look to buy the club, and they have offered Alan Shearer the chance to become the club’s manager should the takeover go through. The Singaporean group have already provided a Letter of Intent and a Proof of Funds, but they believe Ashley’s new £340 million asking price is too high, and are hoping to come to an agreement soon. Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund pulled out of a £300 million deal to buy Newcastle last month, and the BN Group are looking to move in. They have enlisted the help of Shearer and former Magpies striker Michael Chopra who is fronting the bid. The Asian finance company and private equity firm based in Fr...
Report: Newcastle looking to snap up 28-yr-old target by offering players plus cash
Newcastle remain keen on signing the Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson this summer. As per Mirror’s print edition (h/t HITC), the Magpies are looking to offer players plus cash to land the striker. They will offer Matt Ritchie and Dwight Gayle plus some money to the Cherries. It will be interesting to see if Bournemouth are willing to accept that offer. Wilson is expected to join a Premier League club following Bournemouth’s relegation this past season. Newcastle would be a good move for him. Steve Bruce needs to improve his goalscoring options and Wilson would be an ideal fit. The likes of Carroll and Joelinton failed to deliver last season and Newcastle cannot rely on them next year. Someone like Wilson would be an upgrade. The Cherries striker has already proven himself in the league ov...
Player’s reported stance amid alleged interest from Newcastle United
Reported Newcastle United target and Manchester United central defender Chris Smalling is keen on a return to AS Roma in the summer transfer window, according to The Express. Sky Sports have reported that Newcastle want to sign Smalling from Premier League rivals United this summer. The report has claimed that the Red Devils have made the 30-year-old centre-back available for transfer. However, Newcastle manager Steve Bruce’s reported quest to bring Smalling to St. James’ Park may end in disappointment. That’s because, according to The Express, Smalling is keen on a return to Roma in Serie A. The Express has claimed that United want £20 million as transfer fee for the England international, who himself is keen on a move back to Italy. AS Roma spell Smalling spent the 2019-20 campaign on l...
Report: Newcastle United boss wants 31-cap international to strengthen the defence
Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has identified Manchester United’s Chris Smalling as a target to strengthen the heart of the defence, a report from Sky Sports claims. Smalling spent the previous campaign on loan with AS Roma in the Serie A and he was hugely impressive during his 37 appearances across all competitions. The Giallorossi have been unable to strike a permanent deal for his services and hence, Smalling could pursue a fresh challenge with a different club this summer. Bruce is reportedly keen on adding Smalling to the Magpies ranks ahead of next season, but it is unclear whether the club can afford a permanent deal after the failed takeover. Magpies owner Mike Ashley has shown the willingness to spend with the £40m purchase of Joelinton last year, but the club will have...
Report: Newcastle United could sign 25-year-old midfielder for around £5.4m
Report: Newcastle United could sign 25-year-old midfielder for around £5.4m – originally posted on Sportslens.com Newcastle United could secure the services of Nabil Bentaleb for a bargain price from Schalke 04 this summer, a report from Kicker via SportWitness claims. The Algeria international spent the second half of the season on loan with the Magpies and the club had the option to buy him permanently for £9m. However, the Tyneside outfit decided against triggering the buy clause amid the failed takeover, but it appears that they could now sign him for a much lesser fee. Bentaleb has less than 11 months remaining on his contract at Schalke and the German outfit prepared to offload him during the current transfer window. Steve Bruce’s side are obviously on the search for midf...
Report: Newcastle United close to new left-back signing
Report: Newcastle United close to new left-back signing – originally posted on Sportslens.com According to Football Insider, Newcastle United are close to recruiting a new left-back after making the breakthrough in the negotiations. The Magpies started the previous campaign with Paul Dummett and Jetro Willems as the left-back options, but both players sustained long-term injuries at the turn of the year. Dummett picked up an Achilles tendon injury in early January and just one game later, Willems suffered damage to the anterior cruciate ligaments in his left knee. The Magpies therefore opted to sign Danny Rose on a short-term loan from Tottenham Hotspur and the 30-year-old made 13 appearances over the rest of the season. It is unclear whether the club will sign Rose permanently, but ...

As per reports (h/t sportwitness), the 28-year-old could be on the move and Newcastle are currently leading the chase to sign him. The Magpies need to sign a quality left-back before the season starts and Ghoulam would be a good addition.

Tottenham’s Danny Rose was on loan at the club last season and Newcastle have been linked with a permanent move for him as well. It will be interesting to see if the Magpies can agree on a deal with Napoli now. The asking price shouldn’t be too stee...
Report: Newcastle star’s form has led agents to float his name around in the transfer market
Report: Newcastle star's form has led agents to float his name around in the transfer market – originally posted on Sportslens.com Newcastle United could have an underwhelming summer transfer window after it emerged that they have only around £30 million to spend in the market. Things would have been different for the Magpies had their £300 million takeover by the Saudis gone through, and the coronavirus pandemic complicated things too as head coach Steve Bruce was expecting a transfer budget of around £60 million prior to it. Newcastle now have to make sales to supplement their current budget, while they have also floated potential swap or part-exchange deals, as well as loans, during enquiries for players across Europe. They will be looking to hold on to their key players, but...
