Newcastle move for Jaissle, Bruno Guimarães exit claim grows
Newcastle are set to appoint Matthias Jaissle as head coach and he is already keen to sign a player he is a 'big fan' of.
Sporting Braga said Newcastle are paying €30.578m, about £26.19m, for goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The Czech joins on a five-year deal after 88 Braga appearances.
Manchester United see Lewis Hall as their top left-back target and believe he would join. Newcastle have given no sign they would sell the 45-game defender.
Newcastle are weighing up a €35m-€40m move for Inter midfielder Petar Sucic, 22, but the Serie A side say he is not for sale unless bids rise towards their valuation.
Newcastle are reportedly planning for life after Bruno Guimarães, with Fabrizio Romano saying he is 'expected to become an Arsenal player shortly' in a deal worth up to £80m.
Newcastle have contacted Victor Froholdt's agents to explore a deal, but Porto have had no approach. The midfielder has an €85m release clause and says he wants to stay.
Matthias Jaissle is set to take charge of Newcastle, but paperwork linked to Al-Ahli is delaying confirmation. Lee Ryder says the deal is progressing and should be finalised soon.
A Saudi report claims Newcastle have offered Joelinton to Pro League clubs. No fee or bids are reported, and there is no indication from Newcastle that a sale is imminent.
Newcastle have opened direct talks to sign Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini, though Chelsea are also pursuing the Italy international.
