Newcastle United are reportedly working on the idea of signing Loic Bade ahead of January, with the defender available for £30-40 million.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle United may have switched their attention from Marc Guehi to Loic Bade ahead of the January transfer window. The Magpies are working on a deal to sign the Frenchman from Sevilla, with the defender reportedly available for £30-40 million.
There was a different level of mutiny between Eddie Howe and Paul Mitchell in the aftermath of the summer window, where Newcastle United failed in their efforts to land Marc Guehi. The Magpies saw at least four big bids rejected by Crystal Palace, who stood firm on their asking price, which was believed to be in the region of £75 million.
The failure to close that particular deal caused a sit between the Newcastle United pair, and the club is now preparing to make amends ahead of the January transfer window. Reports state that Guehi’s asking price might have dropped, and he could be made available for much less than the £75 million Palace were demanding in the summer, as the Eagles face a contractual dilemma with the defender.
Whether Newcastle United are prepared to return remains the question, as Liverpool are also in the hunt. The Magpies will enter the January transfer window with a significant budget to spend on new players. Howe continues to harbour hopes of signing central defenders, as his squad is still very much short in that area.
Recent reports link to a few defenders, with Howe determined to sign a new star for his backline. The severe injuries to Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles have forced the Magpies to play with limited options, and a new centre-back is considered a priority ahead of January.
Newcastle United readying a move for Bade
Loic Bade is a player of interest for Newcastle United, who might have also tried to sign him during the summer. The Olympics 2024 silver medalist is reportedly available for £30-40 million, as his price has increased since he signed a new contract in September, which ties him down until 2029.
Sevilla are not eager to sell the French defender in January, as they might be hoping to keep him until the summer. However, their financial issues could see the Magpies come in with a good enough offer. Any move will depend on Loic Bade himself, as the player has so far shown no signs of unhappiness at the Seville club.
