DBasia.news – The process of acquiring Newcastle United which has been going on for months has finally been completed. Suddenly becoming a rich club, the Magpies can clearly talk a lot in the upcoming transfer market, or also hire top coaches who are highly paid.
PIF, led by Mohammed bin Salman, has officially owned 80 percent of Newcastle’s shares. The Saudi Arabian prince redeemed it at a price of 300 million pounds from Mike Ashley.
Prince Salman certainly has his own goal of being the owner of Newcastle. One of them is to make The Magpies a respected club in Europe and the world.
To realize this dream, Newcastle need a cool-handed manager. Conte’s name is considered to be included in these criteria.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Newcastle are ready to make an official offer to Conte. Incidentally, the 52-year-old tactician is not under contract with another club.
Conte’s presence is expected to be able to control Newcastle’s position, which is now in the relegation zone. This is also an inducement to attract star players.
It is not yet known how Conte will respond to the opportunity to deal with Newcastle. What is clear is that he rejected Tottenham Hotspur’s offer last summer.
At that time Conte reasoned that he was not interested in the Tottenham project. Indirectly he wants to handle a club that is challenging for the title.
Newcastle certainly doesn’t fall into that category right now. But with the support of the new owner, Conte can freely form his dream team.
