Newcastle plot move for "extraordinary" £42 million star this summer

Newcastle United have made contact with a £42 million star as they look to complete their second signing of the summer. After finishing in the Champions League places and reaching the League Cup final in 2022/23, Newcastle's 2023/24 campaign was a slight letdown. The Magpies were plagued with injury issues, and this was very much reflected in the form across the season. The north-east outfit were eventually able to put together a string of positive results to secure a 7th-place finish in the Premier League, but Manchester United's FA Cup win meant that there will be no European football at St James' Park next term.
