Newcastle United reportedly want to bring Kevin Trapp to the Premier League but Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain won’t sell on the cheap.
Paris Saint German are demanding up to around £18 million for Kevin Trapp with Newcastle United apparently keen to recruit the German international goalkeeper, as reported by Le10 Sport.
With Rob Elliot, Freddie Woodman and Karl Darlow all facing an uncertain future at St James’ Park, Newcastle appear to be scouring the market for a shot-stopper capable of providing competition for Martin Dubravka in Rafa Benitez’s squads.
Le10 Sport claims that Trapp has emerged as an option for the Tyneside giants. A former Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper who was part of Germany’s 2018 World Cup squad, Trapp was first linked with Newcastle back in January 2018 (the Mail).
And reports from France suggest that the 28-year-old could be on his way to England if Newcastle are willing to meet PSG’s £18 million price tag.
Their hopes could rest on the future of Keylor Navas, however.
With PSG confirming that 41-year-old Gianluigi Buffon will leave when his contract expires in July, Les Parisiens have apparently chosen Real Madrid’s Costa Rican international as the Italian’s successor.
And Le10 Sport suggests that Trapp could be retained if PSG are unable to conclude a deal for Navas.
