Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United could sell Allan Saint-Maximin for £60 million in the January transfer window, according to journalist Rudy Galetti on Twitter.
The Italian journalist has reported that Newcastle are not actively looking to sell the winger in the final days of the January transfer window.
The Magpies want to keep all of their players, as they aim to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
Newcastle, though, could change their mind over the £93,000-a-week (SalarySport) Saint-Maximin if they receive a bid of £60 million, according to Galetti.
Defending Serie A champions AC Milan have been linked with the 25-year-old French winger, described as “a brilliant player” by former Newcastle loanee Jetro Willems in The Chronicle in July 2022.
Should Newcastle United sell Allan Saint-Maximin in January?
In our view, Newcastle United should not sell Allan Saint-Maximin in the final days of the January transfer window.
Yes, the Magpies are about to sign Anthony Gordon from Premier League rivals Everton.
And yes, Saint-Maximin is not guaranteed a place in the Magpies’ starting lineup at the moment.
However, the winger is a very good player who can make an impact.
Remember, Newcastle are aiming to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
So, they could need the French winger in key games and in key moments.
Saint-Maximin has made four starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for Newcastle so far this season.
The winger has scored one goal and given three assists in those matches.
