With the PSR deadline now passed, Newcastle United have reportedly made contact to sign a Brazil international who wants a shot at Premier League redemption this summer.
Newcastle transfer news
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the Magpies, who showed the door to Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, before announcing the arrival of new sporting director Paul Mitchell. Mitchell arrrives following the departure of Dan Ashworth, who finally saw a deal agreed to sanction his departure to Manchester United this summer.
Mitchell’s main task this summer will be to transform Newcastle back into a side capable of finishing inside the Premier League’s top four and to hand Eddie Howe the squad depth needed in pursuit of that.
On that front, those at St James’ Park have already been linked with a number of names, from versatile defender Malick Thiaw all the way to Mainz winger Brajan Gruda, but neither of those targets could be the first through the door under Mitchell, who could instead hand a Brazilian midfielder a shot at Premier League redemption.
