Newcastle United eyeing move for Harvey Barnes

Ongoing negotiations persist between Newcastle and Leicester as they deliberate the potential transfer of Harvey Barnes, with the Magpies contemplating an initial offer in the vicinity of £30 million.

Barnes, who found the net 13 times for the relegated Foxes last season, remains Newcastle’s top priority for a wide attacking position. He has also made an appearance for the England national team. According to Transfermarkt.com, his current market value stands at €35 million.

At 25 years old, Barnes possesses two years remaining on his contract and holds a valuation nearing £40 million—a figure that mirrors the fee Leicester garnered from Tottenham for James Maddison earlier in the summer transfer window.

While Aston Villa and West Ham expressed interest in Barnes, Newcastle has always been his primary choice, mainly due to the enticing prospect of participating in the Champions League during the upcoming season.

Furthermore, Manchester United, Tottenham, and West Ham United have all displayed keenness in acquiring the services of the attacking winger.
