Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign 20-year-old Danish striker Conrad Harder from Sporting CP in the final days of the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Conrad Harder has been offered to Newcastle United, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for him. The 20-year-old has registered 19 goal contributions thus far for Sporting CP, and he could prove to be an excellent long-term acquisition for the Tyneside outfit.
The Magpies need more quality and depth in the attacking unit. Callum Wilson has left the club, and Alexander Isak is trying to force an exit from Newcastle United as well. They will need to invest in multiple strikers this summer. Harder would be an exciting prospect for them.
The 20-year-old could be tempted to move to the Premier League. It will be a major step up in his career, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level. The opportunity to play in England can be quite exciting for most players. Harder will certainly look to prove his quality in the Premier League if the transfer goes through.
Harder would be a long-term addition
The Dane is a young player with a bright future, and Newcastle United could help him develop further. They have an exciting project and an ambitious squad. The Tyneside outfit will be competing in the UEFA Champions League this season, and they managed to win a domestic trophy last term.
The 2024/25 EFL Cup winners will look to build on it and push for major trophies in the coming season. They need to keep improving the squad to keep up with the elite clubs. Signing some of the best young players in the world would be a step in the right direction.
The 20-year-old could develop into a long-term asset for the club. Newcastle United have done well to groom young players in the past, and they could play a key role in his development. They have the resources to get the deal across the line as well.
Newcastle United are among the wealthiest clubs in the world right now. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. However, a summer deal may not see the light of day, as AC Milan have agreed to sign Harder from Sporting CP, although the Danish striker has yet to agree on personal terms.
