Newcastle plans to sign a new Central Defender this summer, and the latest players who could make this move will be a market opportunity for those chasing the Champions League.
It’s no secret that Newcastle wants to address their centre-back options this summer. Sven Botman has suffered injuries over the past two seasons, but Dan Burn, Fabian Schar and Jamaal Lascelles are all on the wrong side of 30. The club can continue to progress with a Level Razor signed.
Things like Marc Guehi and Jarrel Quansah are linked, but now Newcastle can aim to sign players that can be brought in without transfer fees.
Agents give Newcastle the opportunity to sign Jonathan Tar
According to Chronicle (via Geordie Boot Boys), Newcastle is being offered the opportunity to sign Jonathan Tar, with details of his being sent to recruiting staff ahead of the summer transfer window next month.
Tah will be one of the players he sees this summer, considering he will leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of his contract. German International is linked to many European clubs, and in the Premier League, Man United and Liverpool are interested in him.
Tah has been a top player for Leverkusen in recent years, and earlier this season he received high praise from Liverpool manager Arne Slot.
TAH is a great addition to Newcastle, and signing him will allow sports director Paul Mitchell to put additional funds into other areas where he plans to deal with goalkeepers and right wingers and more. However, given the level of interest, it will be difficult to get the deal to make, but playing in the Champions League next season will help them with opportunities.
