Fichajes reported on Sunday that PSG manager Luis Enrique is said to have identified the 25-year-old forward as an ideal fit for his project. His speed, technical ability, and finishing skills make him a player who fits perfectly into the offensive system the Spanish manager aims to implement.
The Spanish outlet also reveals that the Magpies will not let him leaveeasily. However, PSG is said to be willing to make an offer close to €100 million, a sum that could make the English club reconsider.
CaughtOffside recently reported that Newcastle could target Gyökeres if Alexander Isak departs, though it’s unlikely to happen in the January transfer window.
Moreover, the same outlet revealed thatArsenal and Chelsea are watching Isak. However, neither club will match Newcastle’s £115 million price tag for the star striker.
