Newcastle pursuing “unbelievable” £50k-a-week winger as Olise alternative
Newcastle United are pursuing a move for an “unbelievable” £50k-a-week ace as a Michael Olise alternative this summer, according to a new transfer claim.

The Magpies are reportedly interested in sealing a move for Olise in the coming months, with the 22-year-old coming off the back of an impressive season with Crystal Palace. In fact, contact is believed to have been made with the Eagles already, according to the reliable David Ornstein.
He is far from the only attacking option being looked at by Newcastle this summer, however, and Ferran Torres has been linked with a move to St James’ Park, with Barcelona potentially willing to move him on. The Spaniard has experience of the Premier League from his Manchester City days, so could hit the ground running more than foreign players with no prior knowledge of it.
Juventus youngster Samuel Iling-Junior has also been backed to join the Magpies before the 2024/25 season gets underway, although he looks close to joining Aston Villa. The 20-year-old made 24 appearances in Serie A this season, but only four of those were starts, suggesting that a move away could be best for his development.
Matteo Guendouzi is another rumoured target for Newcastle in the summer transfer window, with the former Gunners midfielder unhappy at Lazio, having fallen out with manager Igor Tudor. He could be a great foil for Bruno Guimaraes in the middle of the park if the Brazilian stays put.
