After Minteh and Anderson, Newcastle now in talks to sell £21m Rafa Benitez signing - journalist
He was once their club record signing...????
After the sales of Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, Newcastle could now move on another attacker, according to a recent report.
It’s been a chaotic few days on Tyneside as Newcastle needed to make some late sales to comply with Profit and Sustainability rules before the end of the financial year – the end of June.
Anthony Gordon was linked with a move to Liverpool and was a potential last resort in a bid to raise the necessary funds but that never materialised as Minteh and Anderson’s sales kept them in line.
The club are desperate to keep hold of Gordon, Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes but they are now in talks to sell another attacker.

Newcastle in talks to sell Miguel Almiron
According to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie, Newcastle United are in talks with a Saudi club over the potential sale of winger Miguel Almiron.
The fee at this stage hasn’t been confirmed but there seems to be an expectation that he will depart the club after five and a half years at the club.
Rafa Benitez signed him for a club record fee at the time worth £21m, as per Sky Sports, and he’s gone on to score 30 goals whilst laying on 12 assists across 209 appearances.
The Saudi transfer window opened today, so a number of high-profile deals could materialise in the coming weeks.
Newcastle now need to strengthen
It’s been a testing time for Newcastle but now that the PSR saga is over, they must strengthen and their bolster their ranks.
They were hit hard by injuries last term and were made to pay for their lack of squad depth, so that must be addressed before pre-season begins.
A back-up for Alexander Isak is certainly needed, with Callum Wilson potentially leaving the club.
