Newcastle United transfer rumours as Magpies linked with Barcelona star and Szoboszlai latest

Here are your latest Newcastle United transfer rumours on Wednesday, May 31.

Newcastle 'eye move' for Barcelona star

Newcastle United could take advantage of Barcelona's financial situation by making a move for former Manchester City winger Ferran Torres.

That is according to Mail Online, who claim the La Liga champions need to raise another £160million this summer to comply with financial fair play rules, despite raising £40million with the departures of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.

Barca must satisfy La Liga chiefs in a presentation over their finances this summer and, as such, Torres is one of a number of players who could leave the club this summer, with Eddie Howe keen to bolster his attacking ranks after qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Fresh reports from Germany on Szoboszlai pursuit

Sky Sports in Germany claim there have been talks between Newcastle United and the agents of RB Leipzig star Dominik Szoboszlai.

The Hungarian international has established himself as one of the Bundesliga's leading players and reports suggest his contract contains a €70m release clause.

The fee and Szoboszlai's wouldn't be a problem for Newcastle, according to the report, but they may see James Maddison as a more viable, cheaper alternative.

Magpies join Kim Min-Jae chase

Newcastle have joined Manchester United in the race to sign Napoli's highly coveted defender Kim Min-Jae, after the South Korea international helped the Naples outfit win Serie A this term.

That is according to Fichajes, who claim Newcastle lead the race to sign the 26-year-old, who only joined Napoli from Turkish giants Fenerbahce last summer.
