Newcastle United has made an offer for Brighton striker Juvan Pedro in order to strengthen their attacking line, but received a rejection. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to TalkSPORT, the "Magpies" rejected several offers, including those exceeding £50 million from Newcastle. Although the player is ready to change clubs, Brighton's management is firmly positioned and does not intend to sell the 23-year-old Brazilian for less than £70 million.
He has become an important part of the team. Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe sees Pedro as a priority target to strengthen the squad in preparation for the Champions League start.
Last season, the striker scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists in 30 matches. This is a significant contribution to the team.
The Newcastle team is striving to make this transfer to address their attacking weaknesses. For now, Brighton is prepared to sell their player at a high price, and negotiations are ongoing.
Pedro has been a key player in the team since his youth and is recognized as a leading striker. His speed and technique are considered a great advantage for the team.
Additionally, Newcastle wants to add a strong striker to achieve success in the Champions League. The club's management and coaches are considering future plans related to Pedro.
Negotiations regarding the transfer are not yet concluded. The importance of such changes for the future of the players and the growth of the team is being emphasized.
For now, Brighton is firmly standing on its position and demanding a high price. This may force Newcastle to look for other options.
Nevertheless, the club aims to enter the new season with a strong team.
