Newcastle United are unlikely to step up their attempts to sign Leeds winger Jack Harrison. Reports in France claim the Magpies had a £33.5million bid rejected over the weekend as Toon chiefs aim to bolster their attacking options.
Leeds are reluctant to lose another star asset after selling Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha this summer. Because of this, the Elland Road hierarchy have reportedly slapped a £40million price tag on the 25-year-old.
Inflated demands are likely to stave off Newcastle’s interest - despite their new-found status as the “richest” club in world football. So far, the Magpies have been modest in their spending and are yet to break their transfer record since the £300million Saudi-backed takeover, though they did make a £50m move for James Maddison on Monday.
