Some Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez.

According to Caracol, Newcastle are interested in signing Rodriguez from Spanish and European giants Madrid in the summer transfer window.

The report has claimed that the Colombia international, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, is available for transfer for €32 million (£28.25 million).

Newcastle are set to be taken over by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), according to The Times.

Some Newcastle fans have given their take on speculation regarding James, and below are some of the best comments on Twitter.

Good signing for Newcastle United?

James may not be a regular starter at Madrid, but there is no doubt that the Colombian is a very creative player who would be a good signing for Newcastle in the summer transfer window.

The 28-year-old playmaker is a serial winner, and he would bring with him a winning mentality to the Magpies’ dressing room.

Football in England and Spain is suspended at the moment, and it remains to be seen when the summer transfer window opens.
