DBasia.news – Newcastle United are reportedly starting to target a number of new players to be brought in to the next transfer market. From the news circulating, the two names included in the list are Donny van de Beek and Mauro Icardi.
Newcastle United has just received an injection of fresh funds after the Public Investment Fund (PIF) acquired 80% of Mike Ashley’s shares. To get a majority stake in Newcastle, Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s company disbursed funds of up to 300 million pounds.
Interestingly, Newcastle United is predicted to immediately become the richest team in the world. The reason is that Salman’s wealth reaches 430 million US dollars. This value is much higher than the owner of Manchester City, Sheikh Mansour, which is only 20 million US dollars.
Not surprisingly, The Magpies are reportedly starting to look for a number of players to strengthen the team. The choices are endless as money is not an issue.
According to the circulating news, the first player to be signed is Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi. Currently, Icardi is experiencing difficulties at PSG.
After the arrival of Lionel Messi, Icardi’s position as a starter increasingly shifted. Mauricio Pochettino believes more in the trident of death inhabited by Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
As a result, Icardi wanted to leave in order to receive playing times. Icardi needs it to be targeted by the Argentine national team at the 2022 World Cup.
In addition, Newcastle are reportedly also hunting for Manchester United midfielder, Donny van de Beek. Just like Icardi, Van de Beek also did not get enough appearances.
In fact, what happened to Van de Beek has been going on since his arrival from Ajax Amsterdam. Van de Beek has issued several statements that mentions Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
However, Newcastle are not alone in the hunt for Donny van de Beek. Reportedly, Juventus have held conversations with the Dutch player’s agent.
