Should Newcastle be happy with getting Mata if it means losing Longstaff?
Newcas🎃tleಞ are ready to battle for Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata this summer,
They that the man United signed for a reported £37.1m () back in 2014 is able to leave on a free transfer this summer and t🔥hat has attracted the attention of Rafa Benitez.
Elsewhere, that United are set to bid for Sean Longst⭕aff, who has played just eight P🌸remier League matches for the Magpies.
That means that🥀 the clubs’ midfield transfer business could well be intertwined t🌄his summer – with it perhaps being mutually beneficial for them to have a good working relationship.

But would losing Longstaff and signing Mata in the same window reprဣesent a good window for the Magpies? It’s tempting to think that they need to develop their young talent.
On the other hand, Mata is a special talent and given the way Miguel Almiron lifted the mood aroun♏d the club, the arrival of another elite creative talent could be similarly transformative.
Of course, Newcastle could sign Mata and keep Longstaff – United’s autonomy over the Spani🐼ard is diminished by his contract situation – wh💝ich would be an ideal scenario.
But if only one of Mata a🐈nd Longstaff were to be in a black and white shirt by the time the new season kicks off, who would the fans rather it be?
