Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United have Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Robert Sanchez at the top of their summer transfer wishlist, according to The Sun.
The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Newcastle want to sign a new goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, and that Spain international Sanchez is at the top of the list.
Could Newcastle sign Robert Sanchez from Brighton?
In our view, Newcastle would be able to sign Robert Sanchez from Premier League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window.
Newcastle have wealthy owners in PIF, who will probably not shyy from spending big this summer.
After all, Newcastle have stayed up in the Premier League, and PIF’s grand project can now properly get started.
The Sun reported in April that Newcastle are planning to make a bid of £20 million for the Spanish goalkeeper this summer.
We think that Brighton will sell Sanchez for that price.
Now, of course, the 24-year-old has established himself as the number one between the posts for the Seagulls, but every player has his price.
Described as “fantastic” by Brighton manager Graham Potter on Brighton’s official website in March 2021, Sanchez has made 36 appearances in the Premier League this season.
