On Saturday,Football Insider reported that Newcastle Unitedwill face competition from Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palaceand PSG to sign Baturina. Moreover, all three Premier League clubs chasing Baturinaare set to play European football next season.
The report claims, citing sources, that Baturina could be available for just £20 million this summer—a price Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest would likely see as a smart piece of business.
