Newcastle United Standout Remains Committed Despite PSG Interest, Past With Luis Campos | OneFootball

Newcastle United have received a boost, considering a PSG transfer target has no desire to leave St. James’ Park this summer.

This summer, the capital club will be looking to continue to inject youth into their center-back. Over the past few transfer windows, the Parisians have added Lucas Beraldo and Willian Pacho, but another defender could be on the way.

Moreover, the next potential target for the Parisians could have a past with sporting advisor Luis Campos during his time with LOSC Lille. Nonetheless, the question will be whether they can convince the Magpies to sell him this summer.

On Tuesday, The i Paper reported that Botman is eager to commit his future to St James’ Park despite the interest from PSG. Furthermore, with the promise of Champions League football, it’s the Magpies’ position in contract talks with key players this summer.

The report reveals that Newcastle faces a tricky balancing act due to their profitability and sustainability rules (PSR). On one hand, extending player contracts helps with PSR by spreading their book value over a longer period. On the other, a sharp rise in wages adds more pressure on the club’s finances.
