A look at the latest Newcastle United transfer rumours on Saturday, September 7.
Newcastle told price to sign Juventus winger
Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Manchester United are all being linked with a move for Juventus winger Federico Chiesa as the Serie A side name their price. Calciomercato.it claim the 25-year-old, who’s started the season brightly with four goals and an assist from seven games, can leave if a bid of €50million comes in for the Italian international.
Chiesa is said to earn €5million a year with Juventus, but could leave if the Old Lady don’t qualify for the Champions League next season.
Bayern Munich are also said to be keen on signing the winger, who was linked with a move to St. James’ Park in the summer. Eddie Howe’s side didn’t submit a bid for the Juve winger, repeatedly stressing the need to comply with FFP.
Club president opens up on struggles to keep Bruno Guimaraes at club
Athletico Paranaense president Mario Celso Petraglia says he couldn’t stand in Bruno Guimaraes’ way ahead of a move to Lyon, with the midfielder’s sale helping keep the club alive. The now Newcastle midfielder is closing in on a new deal and his former club is happy to see his development.
The club want to become the largest trainer of athletes on the planet, in other words, we want a large part of this capital to be allocated to training young talents. Bringing them from Africa, Australia, America, Europe, whatever, bringing them here to train. And another aspect of the need for capital is the maintenance of our athletes,” Petraglia said.
“When Guimarães came to me: ‘Hey, president, I’m going to earn €800,000 a month in the first year, you can’t take this opportunity away from me’. What am I going to say to him? Go to live, my son, be happy.
“A player’s life is short, and if you don’t make your nest egg, what will you be later? So, we also want capital to support these athletes.”
