Newcastle United are reportedly willing to spend big this summer in order to secure their main transfer targets, with Barcelona winger Raphinha said to be high on their list.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Eddie Howe's side are keen on the 26-year-old former Leeds United man and are ‘willing to pay a lot of money’ to secure his services. The Brazilian joined from Leeds last summer, but despite ten goals and eleven assists, the winger has often cut a frustrated figure when substituted.
This apparent frustration has opened the door for potential suitors to pledge their case to the left-footed front man. Having arrived in a £55million deal from Leeds last summer, Sport report that Chelsea are also interested in Raphinha, with Barca having to raise a reported €150m (£130m) this summer in transfer fees.
