Report: Champions League winner could be Eddie Howe’s big January signing
As Newcastle appear to be heading closer to unveiling Eddie Howe as their new manager, the club are also looking at what they can do during the January window to help their new boss.
PIF are looking to back their new man in the January window where they can. Newcastle are in a relegation fight, and the new owners know that new signings will be needed to make an impact.
And according to , Newcastle have their eyes on Barcelona and Germany stopper, Marc-Andre ter Stegen. It’s suggested Newcastle could pay up to £47m for Ter Stegen. With Barcelona struggling for cash, it could be an offer that tempts the powers that be at the La Liga club.
Ter Stegen, 29, has been a regular for the Catalan club and has started every since coming back from injury this season. A Champions League winner, the German also has 26 caps for his country.
Impressively, Ter Stegen is approaching the game mark for Barcelona.
Newcastle with former Bournemouth manager Howe yesterday. It will bring an end to the search for a replacement for Steve Bruce.
TBR’s View: Do Newcastle really need Ter Stegen?
The answer to that is probably not at the moment. It’s one area where the club actually do have some decent quality. Martin Dubravka is excellent albeit injury prone at times, while Karl Darlow has also done well at times.
Newcastle also has Freddie Woodman on the books, so it’s not like they’re short of options. In short, you get the feeling landing Ter Stegen in January would be more of a vanity signing for the Toon.
The transfers are bound to start flowing in Newcastle soon. But using around £50m on a goalkeeper who might not even be needed, would be a questionable decision.
