Newcastle are currently ‘primarily opposed’ to signing the 21-year-old and are seeking a £15m player instead Newcastle United linked with Hugo Ekitike ahead of January transfer window is thick.
However, a new report from TEAMtalk claims the Magpies have cooled their interest in the 21-year-old and have turned their attention to other targets.
Newcastle are currently prioritizing the potential signing of Selhou Guirassi (and Ruben Neves) over Ekitike, according to reports.
Apparently the Paris Saint-Germain man is liked by some members of Newcastle’s hierarchy, but current opinion is “mainly against his contract”.
This is because Ekitike is “inexperienced and untested, especially at Premier League level”.
Guirassi, who plays for Stuttgart and the Guinea national team, has also been linked with the Magpies recently.
Another report from TEAMtalk claims that Newcastle are already in talks with Guirachy’s agent and Stuttgart “about the structure of the contract”.
The striker has a £15m release clause in his contract and Newcastle are prepared to trigger it, the article added.
Guirassi is also reportedly interested in playing in the Premier League, and Newcastle appear confident of sealing a deal.
Selhaw Guirassi a great call-up for Newcastle – TBR View A move from Newcastle to Guirassi would actually be a foregone conclusion.
He’s talented, experienced, in his prime, and reportedly available in January at a not-exorbitant price.
The 27-year-old has had a fantastic season so far, scoring 16 goals and providing two assists in just 11 competitive games.
In 2020, the Ligue 1 website wrote: “Tall and powerful, Guirassi has all the characteristics of a typical target player and is able to play this role.
” “Girassi is strong and killer in the air and in combat.
He is instinctive and a difficult task for defenders and goalkeepers alike.

Saudi move hints at potential for ‘excellent’ star Newcastle United want to sign Sandro Tonali replacement in January, according to journalist Alex Crook, an ‘excellent’ midfielder.
A transfer is still possible.
Newcastle look for replacement for Tonali Newcastle are in dire need of a replacement in the January transfer window after being shaken by the news that Tonali had been suspended for 10 months for gambling offences.
It was obvious.
Eddie Howe still has strong options in midfield in Bruno Guimarães and Joelinton, but as the season progresses his legs may start to tire and team strength becomes increasingly important.
Newcastle have been linked with a variety of players to fill Tonali’s void, with their first-choice target appearing to be Kalvin Phillips, with the Manchester City and England international always linked to St.

However, the Magpies could turn to Saudi Arabia for reinforcements, with Ruben Neves and N’Golo Kante both recently linked as possible solutions for Newcastle.

Newcastle could sign Gavri Veiga
Speaking on the Premier League All Access Podcast (via The Boot Room), Crook said Newcastle could sign Gavri Veiga in January as the Spaniard currently plays for Saudi Pro League club Al Ahly.

“I think they’re still worried about how they’re going to be seen, but it would be a surprise to me if they don’t take at least one player from Saudi Arabia in January.
” “Maybe It’s not Ruben Neves, Al Hilal want to keep him, but Gavri Veiga is a player they had a lot of interest in this summer and he went to Saudi Arabia at a young age.

The Newcastle transfer target last season scored 11 goals in 28 La Liga starts, proving his ability to transform from an attacking midfield role into a last-line player.
Considering he has won 14 caps for the Under-21s, he could well be called up to Spain’s first team in the future.
Veiga is not necessarily an equal replacement for Tonali.
The Magpies’ current ace is more disciplined and often plays deep, but Howe should consider moving on if he has the chance to sign the former Celta star.
