Newcastle United boss Rafael benitez is said to be keen to sign Ismaila Sarr from Rennes.
Newcastle United fans are excited over links with Ismaila Sarr, but many feel that they are totally unrealistic.
Newcastle would have to break their transfer record to sign Sarr, and his arrival would excite many around St. James’ Park.
But Magpies fans’ expectations have been lowered over the years.
And there is massive scepticism around Newcastle over whether a deal is at all likely.
Newcastle appear to be delaying any transfer moves until Benitez’s future is sorted.
The Spaniard has just over a week remaining on his contract, and he is yet to commit his future to Newcastle.
If Benitez does pen a new deal it is not yet clear whether his transfer budget would allow him the sort of funds needed to bring in players of Sarr’s quality.
