Newcastle United are eager to explore a move for Diogo Jota in the summer as the Liverpool forward could be on the market.
According to Give Me Sport, Newcastle United could target a move for Diogo Jota, with the Portuguese forward likely to leave Liverpool in the summer. The Magpies could be thrown into the market in search of a new striker, with the Liverpool forward, who cost the Reds £41 million, one of the options being considered.
Newcastle United could be thrown into the market in search of a top-notch striker should they fail to keep hold of Alexander Isak. There is the looming threat of losing the Swedish forward should the club not finish in the Champions League places, with Liverpool one of those keen on the prolific striker.
Newcastle United are also interested in Hugo Ekitike, with the French striker likely to cost a lot ahead of the summer. There is another target on their list, as Liverpool forward Diogo Jota is an idea the magpies are keen to explore in the market.
Liverpool are already exasperated with Jota following many wasteful games as well as his constant fitness issues. The Merseysiders are already planning to improve their squad on many fronts, which includes chasing new forwards, as the Portuguese internatioal, who cost them £41 million, could be one of those departing alongside fellow striker Darwin Nunez.
Newcastle United could look at the Liverpool forward’s situation in the summer and make a move for the Portuguese star. However, there will be many factors before the Magpies prepare a bid, with the cost being one and his consistency in keeping the fitness levels up the other.
Diogo Jota could think about Newcastle United switch
Another report on Give Me Sport has claimed that Jota might indeed leave Liverpool in the summer, and he does have a few suitors trying to explore a move. He might even consider switching over to Newcastle United, should they make it to the UEFA Champions League next season.
There is reported interest from former side Wolves, although at this level, Diogo Jota is unlikely to make a return to Molineux. He will evaluate the many offers expected in the summer before deciding his next step as he will have two years left on his Liverpool deal in the summer. The Magpies might make an approach, although the idea of signing a top-draw, experienced striker might depend on Champions League football.
