Your Newcastle United transfer round-up for Friday, June 24.
Newcastle United linked Everton forward Richarlison
Everton forward Richarlison is reportedly a target for Newcastle United if they miss out on Hugo Ekitike.
CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs revealed the Magpies are considering a "swoop" for the Brazilian international who was one of Everton's standout performers last season.
Speaking on The Done Deal Show, Jacobs said: "He’s a player that is available in the market and there are a few clubs that are currently looking at him. Newcastle United are considering a swoop as well if they don’t get Ekitike.
"What will be interesting with Richarlison is where his level of ambition lies.
"If he joins Newcastle he’ll be well compensated and he’ll be joining a new project from the ground up and he will be a focal point. Callum Wilson is 30 and Chris Wood clearly isn’t the answer if Newcastle want to be challenging for Champions League football and beyond.”
"Let’s not forget there are some Brazilians at Newcastle that he knows and if friendly with, particularly Bruno but Joelinton as well, he has a good relationship with the former."
Rabiot turns down Tyneside move
Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot has reportedly turned down a summer transfer move to Newcastle United.
Gazzetta dello Sport reports Newcastle were interested in signing the French international this summer, only for Rabiot to reject their advances.
It is believed the 27-year-old wants to play European football next summer, which ruled out Newcastle as a contender.
