Newcastle are keen to bring in reinforcements to stave off the threat of relegation from the Premier League and turn their attention to Samuel Umtiti after Lille rejecting a 30 million bid for Netherlands Under-21 international Sven Botman and deeming him untransferable this month. Newcastle are willing to pay half of Umtiti's whopping 220,000-per-week wages to recruit him for their relegation battle.
Come on, Newcastle. Come on Newcastle! At this point, even a loan and getting rid of half of his wages would be a big win, and being rid of him for at least 6 out of the 18 months left we're forced to watch this leech at our club.
