After failing with three bids, Newcastle United could lose Garry Rodrigues to Premier League rivals Crystal Palace.
After over a year of speculation, Garry Rodrigues could be on his way to the Premier League at long last – but not necessarily to Newcastle United.
According to Calciomercato, a goal-shy Crystal Palace side are keen to sign the Cape Verde international after he fired Galatasaray to the Turkish Super Lig title last season, contributing 10 goals and 11 assists in all competitions.
Rodrigues is renowned for his speed, dribbling ability and long-range shooting, meaning he’d surely give Palace a much needed attacking spark.
But the prospect of the 27-year-old moving to Selhurst Park doesn’t bare thinking about for a Newcastle side who are crying out for a winger with Rodrigues’ skill-set and end product.
The Magpies have been linked with the former PAOK ace since late 2017 and have failed with three bids to bring the wide-man to St James’ Park, Gunes reports.
So if relegation rivals Palace land Rodrigues at the first time of asking then you could hardly blame Newcastle fans for once again lambasting the club’s inability to lure their top targets to Tyneside.
Turkish Football have reported that Gala will accept around £13 million for Rodrigues.
