Newcastle is in the Miracle City midfield, willing to take away 50 million, and Eddie Howe's team ushered in a big reinforcement
After spending 70 million euros to buy Tonali, Premier League upstart Newcastle United have not yet intended to continue the trade, which has worried Magpies fans. After all, next season the team will face the pressure of fighting on multiple fronts, and the overall physical consumption is much greater than this season. Eddie Howe's current squad is also not strong enough to deal with them fighting on a higher stage. Moreover, they are a "local tyrant team", don't forget their fundamental attributes!
However, today's news is enough to reassure Newcastle fans that the club is in close talks with Leicester City and is expected to take their midfielder Havre Barnes in the near future. The deal will be completed between 45 million and 60 million, and the current estimate of the value of the mid-range attacker is roughly 40 million euros. At present, there is still a certain numerical difference between the two sides on the price perception of the transfer, but it is not large. And the players themselves want to leave, and Leicester City also wants to cash out through sales stalls, so the possibility of reaching a deal is relatively large.
Barnes is a 25-year-old England midfielder who was an absolute regular at Leicester City last season. Even though the Blue Fox didn't play well, he still contributed an outstanding statistic of 13 goals and three assists, which is eye-catching. Since joining Leicester City in 2018/19, Barnes has grown very quickly and has helped the Blue Foxes a lot in tandem and attack. Southgate is also very optimistic about him, and he has many opportunities to become an international.
Barnes is a very fast midfielder who is able to create opportunities to pull space through his individual ability, while working relatively well with his teammates. The biquotient aspect of the competition is online. His problem is that his defensive shortcomings are more prominent, and his passing ability is not strong enough. However, there are many defensive experts at Newcastle United, and he does not need to pay too much in terms of passing people on the wing, so it can be regarded as complementary.
The outside world is very optimistic about Baynes joining Newcastle, and he is more in line with Eddiehow's employment habits. So the deal could well be another effort by the Magpies to bolster their midfield this summer, with Tonali and Barnes sure to help them upgrade their rosters. Barnes will also be like Botman and others who were bought before the team, cost-effective, which is also the development idea of Newcastle. It is true that there is a difference with other local tycoons, they do not like to spend a lot of money and buy new signings regardless of the cost.
