Newcastle prepare second bid for £60m Maddison and step up pursuit of Chelsea's Werner
They have received encouragement from Burnley in their pursuit of Maxwel Cornet but the two clubs are still apart on valuation. The Ivorian missed the Clarets’ season opener at Huddersfield but may return for their game against Luton after negotiations surrounding his exit broke down.
It has been a frustrating fortnight for Newcastle, with Eddie Howe admitting over the weekend that the club had hoped to have a wide player and striker on board by the time the season started. The Magpies are working with the parameters of financial fair play and are struggling to land their top targets, with offers for Everton’s Anthony Gordon and Jack Harrison of Leeds both turned down.
There is a general feeling the market is a tough one to operate in, with Newcastle far from alone in struggling to land the additions they want. With the season underway next week, there’s hope that the loan market will move up a gear.understands the club are in pole position to sign Timo Werner if Chelsea decide to sanction a move to a Premier League club.
Nearly 90,000 people watched back-to-back friendly wins for Newcastle over the weekend as they warmed up for the season by defeating Atalanta and Athletic Bilbao.
