It’s thought that Newcastle United has been contacted about a player with “great qualities” and given the opportunity to purchase him for a fee above £50 million.
Newcastle might sign a successor for Botman.
The news that Sven Botman’s season is gone due to a catastrophic ACL injury sustained in the last few days has completely devastated the Magpies. Furthermore, given that he can miss up to nine months of action, the Dutchman might find it difficult to return to action in the remaining months of 2024.
Newcastle may try to get a replacement for him during the summer transfer window. One player who has once more been connected to a move to St James’ Park is Goncalo Inacio, a star for Sporting CP and one of the best young center backs in Europe.
They have been encouraged in their pursuit of him because, instead of the €60 million (£51.7 million) release clause in his present deal, his current club might accept €40 million (£34.4 million) plus €20 million (£17.2 million) in bonuses.
Given that PIF loaned out young player Yankuba Minteh to them, Quilindschy Hartman, a left-back for Feyenoord at the moment, is also considered as a possible defensive alternative for Newcastle. PIF is making the most of their relationship with the Dutch team.
Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig is another player who has surfaced as a potential option for the Magpies. Sesko is expected to replace Callum Wilson this summer, presuming the Englishman departs the team at the conclusion of the current campaign.
Newcastle and Juventus’s defender were linked.
HITC has released a new transfer update, in which it states that Gleison Bremer has been offered to many clubs, including Newcastle.
The Brazilian defender is now with Juventus, but because of his slightly over £50 million release clause, the Italian powerhouses appear open to receiving offers for him. The Premier League rivals Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham have also been contacted through intermediaries regarding the Magpies.
Bremer, who shares qualities with the current Newcastle star, particularly in terms of aerial skill, might be a fantastic choice to make up for Botman’s departure this summer. The former has actually outperformed the latter in Serie A this season, with 2.9 aerial duel victories per game. He has also averaged more clearances per game—3.9—than any other Magpies player.
Bremer, who is 27 years old, may be prepared to join the Premier League right away and make an impact. Leonardo Bonucci, a Juventus star, has previously praised Bremer, saying:
“Bremer was the ideal addition when De Ligt left; he possesses admirable traits and significant moral principles. He’s really reserved, but gradually this side of him will come out as it did in Torino.”
Although he won’t come cheap and there might be fierce competition for him, he might end up being the perfect summer addition for St. James’ Park ahead of a pivotal transfer window.
