Newcastle United are reportedly back in for Galatasaray winger Garry Rodrigues.
According to Turkish newspaper Aksam, Newcastle United are back in talks with Galatasaray over a potential deal to sign winger Garry Rodrigues this summer.
The Magpies managed to secure a top half finish in their first season back in the Premier League, with Rafael Benitez comfortably keeping his side up despite concerns earlier in the season.
After a couple of slow transfer windows, Benitez will want Newcastle to move quickly this time around, and he appears to be in the market for a winger he has has been pursuing for some time.
Turkish newspaper Aksam report that Newcastle are desperate to secure the signature of Galatasaray winger Garry Rodrigues this summer, and are back in talks over a deal.
Newcastle have been linked with Rodrigues since last summer’s transfer window, and it seems that the Magpies aren’t ready to let up their pursuit of the Cape Verde international just yet.
It’s claimed that Newcastle have asked for Galatasaray to reduce their €20million (£17.5million) asking price on Rodrigues’ head, but the Turkish side aren’t budging just yet.
Talks are allegedly ongoing, but whether Benitez will be given the considerable funds needed to bring one of his long-term targets to Tyneisde this summer.
Rodrigues, 27, hit nine goals and 10 assists in 33 league outings for Galatasaray this past season, and his blistering pace would provide a real spark to Newcastle – but it would require a club-record deal as things stand.
