Newcastle targets Barcelona stars as new owners plan revamp

Newcastle reportedly looking to sign Barcelona players as part of their plans to move the club forward. The report states that the Magpies are planning a raid on Barca with intentions of signing a number of players from the Catalan side. Philippe Coutinho is said to be the first mega signing on the list.

The Brazilian has struggled in La Liga ever since his arrival from Liverpool with the Spanish side now struggling to make a sale for the once highly valued midfielder. Coutinho has publically stated his desire to return to the Premier League but his transfer fee is pushing all suitors away.

Newcastle, however, are prepared to sign the Brazilian but are insisting that the 85 million euro asking price be re-evaluated. They are also looking to offer a huge amount for Arturo Vidal as they aim to sign both the players together.

Antoine Griezmann is another player that has been linked with a move away from the Nou Camp after struggling to live up to his Atletico Madrid days. Newcastle could even make an official bid for the Frenchman that might persuade the Spanish side to make a sale

Paris Saint-Germain‘s right back, Thomas Meunier, is also among the list of players to sign this summer with coach Mauricio Pochettino being named as the one to lead the squad. Maximiliano Allegri and Rafa Benitez are also strong coaches capable of leading this super team according to Sports news flying around.

The Sun reported that Pochettino is adamant about signing Coutinho as the first massive transfer if he does become the manager. Barca might have finally found the solution to the former Liverpool star as they continue to look for buyers.
