Newcastle United are reportedly still pursuing Garry Rodrigues.
According to Fotomac in Turkey, Newcastle United are prepared to return with a new bid for Galatasaray winger Garry Rodrigues this summer, this time offering £10million.
Rodrigues, 27, joined Galatasaray from PAOK in January 2017, with the former Levski Sofia and Elche wide man earning a big move to Turkey having starred in Greece.
The Cape Verde international has impressed this season, notching four goals and six assists in 21 appearances, sparking major interest along the way.
Fotomac report that Newcastle United again failed to land Rodrigues in January having also made a move last summer, this time seeing a £6million bid rejected.
The report notes that Newcastle are now expected to return with a new bid this summer, and are poised to offer £10million for the winger at the end of the season in an attempt to finally secure his signature.
Despite already having Matt Ritchie, Christian Atsu and Jacob Murphy at his disposal, Benitez appears to be pushing for Rodrigues to join his ranks at St James’ Park, with his blistering pace no doubt appealing.
Intriguingly, Turkish-Football.com today noted that Everton are poised to join the race for Rodrigues, and will rival Newcastle for his signature this summer.
However, with Theo Walcott signed, Yannick Bolasie now fit again and Ademola Lookman to return from his loan with RB Leipzig, adding another winger may not be Everton’s priority this summer, unless Sam Allardyce and co spring something of a surprise.
