Newcastle is set to make headlines off the pitch as it closes in on what could be its biggest-ever sponsorship deal. Rumors are rife that a Middle East company is in talks to shell out a whopping €28m per season to be the club’s new sponsor.
While Newcastle United has remained tight-lipped on the matter, sources suggest that an announcement could be imminent, and it could be a game-changer for the Magpies.
Meanwhile, across the continent, Barcelona is in financial turmoil, forcing the club to sell its top players. One of the players on the chopping block is Brazilian winger Raphinha, who has only been at the Nou Camp for a season. Barcelona has reportedly set a €80M price tag for the star, who has caught the attention of Newcastle United and Arsenal.
Although Raphinha does not want to leave Barcelona, his transfer could be a win for the Magpies. With the club’s financial constraints and the need to adhere to Financial Fair Play (FFP), the move could significantly bolster the Magpies’ kitty for the summer transfer window. While the price tag is steep, the player’s weekly wage of €130,000 would not be an issue for Newcastle.
With these exciting developments, Newcastle United is poised for a major shakeup in the coming weeks. Keep an eye on this space for more updates on the club’s historic sponsorship deal and its potential move for Raphinha.
