Newcastle United had Salomon Rondon on loan from West Bromwich Albion last summer.

Newcastle United fans are still hopeful of signing Salomon Rondon from West Bromwich Albion if their takeover goes through.

Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan suggested yesterday that he had reached an agreement to buy Newcastle from Mike Ashley.

The takeover bid has got Newcastle supporters dreaming of potential transfer targets, as they should have a huge budget to spend.

However, Newcastle fans have not forgotten Rondon’s impact at St James’ Park.

Rondon won Newcastle’s Player of the Season award over the past campaign, and the Magpies can make the Venezualan’s transfer permanent for £16.5 million, as reported by the Telegraph.

However, Ashley has doubts over signing Rondon permanently due to the age.

Newcastle fans have been left hugely frustrated by the club’s failure to bring in Rondon from West Brom so far this summer, and they are hoping that their potential new owners make buying the target-man a priority, if they do take charge.

Even if the takeover story is true to be clear first signing should be Rondon. no question #nufc

IF/when the takeover is complete we need to stay realistic with who we could attract without European football. Rome wasn’t built in a day, although £500m transfer kitty may help first bit of business should be Rondon, Wilson and then Mata on a free imo… then Mbappe #NUFC

IF #nufc have been sold, the first four things the new owner needs to do are

1) resign Rafa
2) sign Rondon
3) remove all SD branding
4) repurchase the land behind the Gallowgate

He guarantees 10 prem goals. Yes we will have money but Fulham spent £100m and got relegated, which proves it can happen. First season or two will be a building process and so Rondon defo has a part to play

Still cracking value for money if the 16.5 price is true. Prem experience and loves the city/club. No brainer for me like, let’s not get carried away there’s financial fair play etc and what’s saying this bloke has billions to throw at us?
