The summer transfer window has forced Newcastle United to accept a harsh reality with regard to the position of the club in the transfer market.
Because of those who are our owners, we are seen as equally rich and have unlimited transfer funds available for us.
The subsequent ‘Newcastle Tax’ that is levied on our top goals has forced us to leave approaches for other fantastic players, simply because we cannot justify or compete with such excessive expenses with the ‘Big Six’ and their expenditure potential.
And now according to a new report, we have been quoted a simple excessive fee for one of our best striker goals, so it will be interesting to see if we are actually continuing to show interest …
According to The I’s Mark Douglas, Chelsea quotes clubs no less than £ 80 million if they want to sign Nicolas Jackson, while the blues want to balance the books after another window of lush expenses.
Douglas states that we have made a first approach for the Senegalese striker, but appreciates him internally ‘closer to £ 65 million’; A similar compensation as what we were willing to pay for Hugo Ekitike before Liverpool hit.
Jackson, besides Ollie Watkins, was quoted as a new striker who has been identified as an option if we sell Alexander Isak this summer. Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig is another option, while Yoane Wissa from Brentford is considered the direct replacement for Callum Wilson, with two strikers that may be needed.
The 24-year-old managed 10 goals and five assists in 30 performances last season, but as the face of the new project at the top? Many fans are not convinced and it is understandable why given his likely costs and tendency to miss opportunities.
At first glance, Jackson can be the preferred signature compared to Benjamin Sesko.
Although he is marginal older, he has sought the Premier experience that our recruitment team has searched in summer goals, and it would take away an option from Chelsea in the Race for Champions League football next season.
Both players would cost about £ 70 million to buy, but there is a greater attraction around Sesko: it is much more to sign a statement, and it is a player who would like to participate in our project instead of buying a Chelsea waste.
A move for Ollie Watkins is probably off the maps, because Aston Villa has previously told Manchester United that he is not for sale this summer, while telling them exactly how much they ask Emiliano Martinez: logically, if Villa was willing to sell, they would have called their prize now.
