Newcastle set to sign Barcelona defender after failing to sign England player

Newcastle has recognised the difficulties in signing Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi and have identified other candidates. From much more prominent clubs.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, such is Barcelona centre-back Andreas Christensen. Thus, the Magpies returned to the candidacy of the Dane, which was considered at the end of last year.

But Barcelona do not intend to let the centre-back go for nothing. It wants to get a good offer for him, which will start at 30 million euros. Given that the 28-year-old Dane moved to Barcelona as a free agent, any income from a hypothetical transfer would be a monetary windfall for the Catalan club in the context of the shortage of space in La Liga on wages.

As a reminder, midfielder Sandro Tonali is now close to returning to the Newcastle line-up and it is known when that will happen.
