Key update in prospective transfer between Newcastle United and European giants

Sissoko

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Real Madrid have not yet established contacts with Newcastle United over the signing of Moussa Sissoko.

Sissoko had made it crystal clear that he will be looking to leave Newcastle United this summer following the club’s relegation into the Championship and the midfielder’s fine performances at the summer European Championship have earned him admiration from a host of top clubs.

Spanish giants Real Madrid are believed to be one of the many teams interested in securing the services of Sissoko this summer and the Telegraph had recently claimed that the European champions were on the verge of completing the signing of the French international for a deal worth of around £35 million.

In contrasting reports from the Daily Mail though, it has been claimed that Real Madrid have not yet established contacts with Newcastle over Sissoko but do state that the La Liga side hold a genuine interest in the 26-year-old.
