NUFC now plotting massive £75m summer raid including 'special' star who's an 'incredible talent'

Newcastle United are reportedly now plotting a £75m double raid in the summer transfer window to try and sign both Darwin Nunez and Sven Botman.

The January window is now shut, and the St. James’ Park faithful have done a lot of business as expected in the hopes of Eddie Howe keeping them up.

Kieran Trippier, Chris Wood, Bruno Guimaraes, Matt Targett and Dan Burn were all brought through the doors in the North East, and the Toon Army can expect even more big business to be done in the summer, so long as they can avoid relegation from the Premier League down to the Championship.

As per The Daily Mirror, the Tyneside outfit are already plotting a £75m double raid in the summer for Nunez and Botman, with the former rated at £40m and the latter valued at £35m.

Botman has already confirmed that he will be leaving Lille in the summer, but West Ham United are also targeting Nunez, and so he may not be as easy to sign.

Described as an ‘amazing‘ centre-back by AC Milan director Frederic Massara, and dubbed a ‘machine’ who ‘doesn’t make mistakes’ by Lille teammate Jose Fonte, Botman is the perfect man to take the Magpies’ defence to the next level.

Meanwhile, Nunez would be an exciting new addition to the frontline, with his 20 goals and two assists in just 26 games in total over all competitions so far this season (Transfermarkt).

He has previously been described as a ‘special’ player with ‘no ceiling’ by Almeria sporting director Joao Goncalves (BBC), while sports journalist Maxi Angelo thinks that he is an ‘incredible talent’.

Nonetheless, providing that they stay up, getting both in would really kickstart NUFC’s revolution.
