According to sources, Newcastle is "on the verge" of having its £55 million deal accepted, which would be a good development for Manchester United. Instead of focusing on who may join, a lot of the headlines at Newcastle this summer have focused on who might depart. It is said that Newcastle is prepared to completely overhaul its pay structure by offering Alexander Isak a better deal. If signed, all rumors will be put to rest, and all focus will be on incomings.
In that regard, Newcastle had made their second attempt to acquire Anthony Elanga. Although Nottingham Forest rejected their initial approach of £45 million, Eddie Howe and company weren't satisfied with the rejection. Now, as per the sources, the high-priced second proposal, which is purportedly worth £50 million plus £5 million in add-ons, is "on the verge" of being “accepted." Forest's sales will result in a substantial sell-on fee for United as well.
