Newcastle United reach agreement to sell Yankuba Minteh to Premier League rival – Report | OneFootball

Newcastle United have agreed to sell Yankuba Minteh to Brighton.

An exclusive from the ever reliable David Ornstein of The Athletic breaking the news.

The man from The Athletic saying that the fee is in the region of £33m.

David Ornstein states that the 19-year-old has been given permission to discuss personal terms with Brighton.

He says those talks will take place this Saturday evening but that they are not expected to be a major issue.

All kinds of claims/speculation have surrounded countless Newcastle United players, whether they would potentially be sold in order to get NUFC on the right side of PSR (Profit and Sustainability Rules).

The deadline for this year’s accounts is Sunday 30 June and then £105m losses allowed from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024.

Amongst the players claimed who could be sold, have been Bruno, Alexander Isak, Elliot Anderson and Anthony Gordon.

Ironic then that we are now back with the player, Yankuba Minteh, who was the first to be the subject of much speculation earlier this month, in terms of a potential NUFC sale to satisfy PSR.

Assuming this Minteh transfer goes ahead without any issues, we await with interest (fear!) to see whether that £33m deal (Yankuba Minteh cost around £6.5m 12 months ago) will be enough on its own to meet PSR targets this month/season/three year period.
