Aston Villa’s John McGinn has been linked with Newcastle United.
Aston Villa face an uncertain time, as their relegation fate is yet to be decided with the Premier League season shelved due to the ongoing global pandemic.
If Villa do end up going down to the Championship again, they may face some financial issues, meaning key players may have to be sacrificed to raise funds.
The Daily Star not only claim that Everton, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all prepared to spend over £50million on Villa star Jack Grealish, but also that Newcastle want John McGinn.
It’s claimed that Steve Bruce wants to sign McGinn again, having brought him for Villa for just £2.5million in 2018; now, Newcastle may launch a £30million move.
With the Newcastle takeover moving closer, Bruce may have big money to spend, and it’s no surprise to see him want McGinn again having seen him star at Villa.
The midfielder has been impressive in his first Premier League season, and a return to the top flight would be inevitable if Villa do suffer relegation.
However, Villa fans have been mocking the rumour, suggesting that Bruce is ‘having a laugh’ if he thinks that he can sign McGin for £30million, believing he is worth much, much more.
Others don’t think Newcastle is a step up from Villa, and refuse to even entertain the idea of him heading to St James’ Park this summer…
