Newcastle United will sell Matz Sels… it’s just a question of how much for.
Newcastle United are set to sell Matz Sels, it is simply a question of when and for how much.
Days ago, Belgian outlet HLN reported Sels could be sold to Anderlecht next week… but it appears Newcastle are holding up the deal.
This is because Newcastle are dragging their heels, believing his value might rise.
He is currently in the preliminary shortlist, but it remains to be seen if he will make the final 23 as one of Thibaut Courtois’ back-ups.
The paper report Newcastle feel if Sels is named in Roberto Martinez’s squad, his value will rise and they can command a higher transfer fee.
Anderlecht want to close a deal worth 4.5 million Euros over the weekend, but Newcastle are happy to wait.
The extra funds may not bring Newcastle much, but at their end there is seemingly no rush, with Sels’ departure inevitable in any case one way or another.
