Newcastle United has shown interest in the 18-year-old Corinthians winger, Wesley Gassova.
Newcastle United’s scouting network appears to be casting a keen eye toward Corinthians’ rising star, 18-year-old winger Wesley Gassova. Reports emerging from Bolavip suggest that the young Brazilian’s on-field displays have not gone unnoticed by the Premier League outfit, possibly signaling their intent to secure his services in the coming months.
The specifics of Newcastle’s proposal to acquire Gassova are yet to be revealed, and much hinges on Corinthians’ willingness to part with their young talent. Notably, Gassova’s contract is said to include a €100 million release clause, a valuation that could be a sticking point for Newcastle, especially for a player with limited top-tier experience.
While Gassova undeniably possesses the potential to mature into a top-tier player, he has not as yet justified the hefty price tag associated with his release clause. Newcastle is likely to seek a more reasonable agreement, and how this scenario unfolds is still a matter of conjecture.
Adding to the intrigue, Brazilian publication Lance has linked Gassova with a potential move to Everton. However, given Newcastle’s financial clout and their allure as a destination, they may have the upper hand in securing his signature, potentially outbidding the Toffees in the process.
