DO: Newcastle explores Visa deals, cools interest in Ekitic

July 17th According to TA's famous reporter David Ornstein, Newcastle is exploring the possibility of signing Brentford striker Eun Visa.

It is understood that Newcastle had prioritized signing Ekitic, but after the 80 million euro price was rejected by Frankfurt, Newcastle has not made any new moves. And according to multiple sources, Liverpool has contacted Frankfurt about Ekitic's transfer.

Visa scored 19 goals in 35 Premier League games last season, and is also the player with the most non-penalties in the Premier League. His contract with Brentford expires in June 2026, but the club has the option to renew the contract for one year.

Currently Visa is one of Newcastle's preferred targets, but Newcastle has not yet contacted the club and the players themselves, and the Bees' willingness to sell and asking price may depend on Mbeumo's stay or not, who is rumored to be likely to join Manchester United.
