Many Newcastle United fans do not exactly appear behind the idea of going after Brighton & Hove Albion defender Bernardo.
Sky claim that Newcastle want to sign Bernardo, who struggled for game time under Graham Potter last season.
The left-back now looks as if he could leave the south coast club in the summer.
But Newcastle fans don’t seem too fussed about landing the 25-year-old.
Newcastle are likely to want to bring in a left-back this summer, as it could be a problem position for them.
Newcastle had both Jetro Willems and Danny Rose available to them last season, but neither of their loan moves were made permanent.
The Magpies’ options in the position now look seriously short, but Bruce’s transfer budget is extremely limited.
And Bernardo could be a solid value for money signing, if he is available, even if Magpies fans aren’t particularly enthused by the transfer rumour.
