RB Salzburg forward Noah Okafor has claimed he was the subject of a €38m transfer bid from Newcastle United last summer but the Austrian champions didn't make him aware of the offer.
The Magpies were in the market for a new forward in last summer's transfer window and after long drawn out pursuits of Watford forward Joao Pedro and Reims striker Hugo Ekitike, they eventually signed Swedish international Alexander Isak for a club record fee from Real Sociedad.
Isak, of course, made a huge impact at St James' Park but Okafor, who is a Swiss international team-mate of Magpies defender Fabian Schar, claims he could well have been leading the line for United last season instead.
