Newcastle United’s patience has served them well.
When Lille declined to sell Sven Botman in January 2022, the team just waited months before signing him and secured a great talent.
Meanwhile, Everton held firm on Anthony Gordon last summer before Newcastle signed him in January.
Indeed, the club’s recruitment during the PIF era was not rushed. They planned carefully, and the benefits are clear.
While that delay may not satisfy the ravenous need for transfers that the summer and January windows induce, it is definitely effective.
According to the Daily Mail, it might now save Newcastle millions of pounds.
Newcastle United are expected to make a £25 million bid for Harvey Barnes.
They report the club is about to make a £25 million bid for Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes.
The 25-year-old has recently been prominently connected with a move, so the Mail’s report should be of special interest.
According to reports, Leicester initially valued Barnes at £60 million, but the Magpies are now confident of securing a transfer for much less.
Eddie Howe is said to be looking for “reliable” squad players ahead of an extended workload next season, and Barnes is supposed to be just that.
Barnes would be a good investment at £25 million.
Despite the fact that Leicester were relegated last season, Barnes outscored all but one Newcastle player.
Only Callum Wilson had more goals (18 to 13), demonstrating how much more end product Barnes possesses than Howe’s present choices out wide. Despite such large scorelines last time out, firepower was a concern at times.
If conceivable, £25m appears to be a very good price for a player with much of Premier League experience who is still young enough to progress.
Instead of hurrying, Newcastle has waited and now appears to be in an excellent position to chip away at that initial £60 million estimate.
