Newcastle are set to fight it out with Chelsea and Manchester United for Napoli and Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen. Gazzetta dello Sport are reporting the Magpies have made contact with the agent of the Nigerian player, despite the Serie A champions insisting they want to keep their prized asset. And any potential transfer is likely to cost a minimum of £130million given their valuation of the 24-year-old.
Man Utd to pay £52m to get Hojlund
Atalanta want a fee of €60million (around £52million) in order to part with Man United target Rasmus Hojlund this summer, according to reports in Football Insider.
It is believed that Hojlund is seen as an alternative to high-value striker targets Harry Kane and Victor Osimhen. He is regarded as one of the best young strikers in world football and has wowed Man United scouts throughout the 2022-23 campaign.
Canos contract extended at Brentford
Brentford have exercised the option in Sergi Canos’ contract to extend his stay at the club until the end of the 2023/24 campaign. Canos spent the second half of last season on loan at Greek Super League side Olympiacos, where he made eight appearances, scoring four goals and providing three assists, before picking up an injury which ruled him out for the rest of the campaign. The midfielder’s contract was due to expire on 30 June, but the club have decided to trigger the option to extend his deal until next summer.
“Last season was difficult for Sergi. His start to the season was delayed by injury and he didn’t feel he made enough appearances for us,” said head coach Thomas Frank.
“In the second half of the season, he started to find form at Olympiacos but then was hit by injury again. Therefore, this summer, we need to get Sergi fit, back to his best, and making a big contribution for us. Like Pontus Jansson and Saman Ghoddos, Sergi is already a Brentford legend and I’m looking forward to having him back in pre-season.”
