Newcastle launch £125m triple bid to sign three top targets - Report
Some breaking news has arrived this afternoon regarding three potential signings at Newcastle United.
Our transfer plans are clearly stepping up as we edge closer to July, where our PSR position improves significantly, and it's emerged that we've now made bids to sign THREE top targets.
As revealed by The Telegraph's Luke Edwards, the club have launched formal offers for Brighton forward Joao Pedro, Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga and Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.
The report states that £50m deals are under discussion for Pedro and Elanga, while the current offer on the table for Trafford is £25m plus add-ons.
That would be a £125m triple-swoop and moves that tick off three of the four major positions we're looking to strengthen this summer, but there is still plenty of work to be done.
The good news is that all three are eager to sign and play for Eddie Howe, while their wage demands would not be an issue. However, there is currently a slight gap between our offers and the valuation set by the selling clubs.
But Newcastle are locked in negotiations for all three players and hope to reach a compromise soon, with the club's recruitment plans gaining momentum in recent days as Howe hopes to have new signings through the door ahead of our return to pre-season in two weeks time.
The club will move on to other targets if deals can't be agreed, but it really does feel like our transfer plans are ramping up, with other options lined up should our Premier League rivals play hardball.
