Newcastle United linked with shock Marcus Rashford move as £30m midfielder is ‘eyed’

Newcastle United are on the up as they continue their battle against Premier League relegation.

The Magpies claimed another big three points over the weekend, with Ryan Fraser and Fabian Schar on target to defeat Brighton.

That’s now five wins in six games for Newcastle, and they’re also unbeaten in eight league games, a run that has helped them move up to 14th in the table, seven points above the drop zone.

Safety is not in the bag quite yet, but given the new-found money, United may already have one eye on next season.

And a big part of that is new signings. As the Magpies scour the market, here are the latest transfer rumours.

Zaniolo links

Newcastle are said to be hoping to snap up a Roma star this summer as they look to revamp their squad.

According to Fichajes via Sportwitness, the Magpies are weighing up a move for Nicolo Zaniolo, who has also been linked with a move to Tottenham.

Zaniolo is under contract until 2024, and he is not likely to come cheap, valued at around £30million but likely to cost more.

Rashford talk

Newcastle are said to be interested in pulling off a move for Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.

The Manchester United star is said to be considering his future at Old Trafford amid frustration under Ralph Rangnick.

90min now claim the Magpies and Arsenal are among the teams who would be interested in pulling off a move if the England international does leave.
