Some Barcelona fans have given their take on speculation linking Vidal to Newcastle.

Below are some of the best comments on Twitter:

Meanwhile, former Newcastle assistant manager Iain Dowie has given his take on the reported takeover of the Magpies.

It has been reported by The Times that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) are set to acquire 80 per cent stake in Newcastle, with Amanda Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners taking 10 per cent and the Reuben brothers the other 10 per cent.

The Chronicle quotes Dowie as saying: “I think it will excite fans and if it does happen, and I think there is a little way to go with that, then the Reuben brothers, Amanda Staveley and the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia are not going to have any problems financing the takeover.

“£250bn, I believe, on investment, they have an incredible amount of money behind them to take that club to where it should be which is the very top echelons.”
