According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle United are finalizing the transfer of Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes.
How much money does Harvey Barnes make?
After being demoted from the Premier League with Leicester City last season, the £40,000-a-week Englishman has emerged as one of the Magpies’ primary transfer targets this summer.
Barnes is unlikely to stay put and try his luck in the Championship, given that he has recently been acclaimed as a “unbelievable” talent by none other than renowned Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
Newcastle have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old numerous times throughout this summer already, viewing him as someone who can come in and make them an even more formidable attacking proposition. Last season, he scored 13 times in the league, despite Leicester’s struggles, which shows what a potent player he can be in the final third.
At this moment, it would be surprising if Barnes did not return to St James’ Park next season, and a critical update on his future has now been supplied.
What’s the latest on Harvey Barnes’s arrival in Newcastle?
According to Romano, Newcastle’s “priority” this summer is to complete the transfer of Barnes, with Axel Disasi also a major centre-back target:
“Despite some speculation, I’m not aware of negotiations to loan players from Saudi clubs to Newcastle at this point. The priority for now is elsewhere – they still have to agree key details of the Harvey Barnes deal and then Axel Disasi is an option as a new signing at centre-back, though not the only one.
“For sure I think we can expect Newcastle to be busy in the next weeks.”
Barnes looks like such a perfect potential addition to this Newcastle squad, at a time when Eddie Howe will be well aware of the importance of kicking on and not resting on their laurels, following last season’s unexpected fourth-place finish in the Premier League.
He has won one cap for England, and he will feel that his chances of being named in the Three Lions’ squad for Euro 2024 next summer will be enhanced if he seals a move to Newcastle, allowing him to shine on a bigger stage than at Leicester, especially in terms of playing Champions League football.
