Newcastle to Acquire Mbappe in January

We hear that representatives of the two teams met at a private location in Paris. We’re talking Newcastle United and Paris Saint-Germain. They met to finalize the top-secret deal (rumored to be in the region of €150million). The January transfer window is approaching and it is well-known that Mbappe, 24, wants to leave PSG. He was a hold-out in the pre-season and did not appear in the team’s first three games.  European soccer insiders are asking the question: Could it possibly be true?  Newcastle to Acquire Mbappe!  Next month?

Newcastle have a short bench, and a lot of injuries – Isak is out. Barnes, Willock and Trippier are out. Schar and Joelinton had to go off with knocks before halftime yesterday. Do you think they could be looking to acquire a playmaker/goalscorer? Barnes and Gordon could play in deeper roles on the left and center of midfield giving Mbappe scope to flourish!

PSG have not confirmed that Mbappe’s new contract has been inked. And now Real Madrid have stepped back, with FFP concerns, the field is clear for Newcastle to snatch the biggest talent in football. Newcastle are backed by the PIF but since the Saudi acquisition they have spent cautiously. Anthony Gordon being the biggest ticket item at £40million. Shake that Saudi piggybank and the Petrodollars will come spilling out!

Newcastle need to improve on the form they showed at home against 10-man Fulham yesterday if they want to secure that all-important Champions League spot.

When Santa gets to Newcastle next week, he will be greeted by thousands of Geordie letters pleading for a Kylian Mbappe Christmas!
