Report: Newcastle willing to pay £25m for £50m-rated English star

Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United are interested in signing Harvey Barnes from Leicester City in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

The Sun have reported that Leicester are demanding as much as £50 million in transfer fees for Barnes.

Newcastle are reluctant to pay that much money, according to the report.

The Northern Echo have also claimed Newcastle’s interest in Barnes, added that the Magpies are willing to pay £25 million for him.

Maybe Newcastle and Leicester could come to a compromise over the transfer fee.

A fee of £30-35 million could suit the two parties.

Barnes, who has earned one cap for England, has scored 22 goals and created 18 big chances in 112 Premier League appearances so far in his career.

Leicester are a big club who won the Premier League title not so long ago, but Newcastle have wealthy owners in PIF and are an exciting project at the moment to be part of.

A move to Newcastle could appeal to Barnes.
