Newcastle have reportedly \u2018opened negotiations\u2019 with a striker from a European giant, who is now a \u2018concrete target\u2019 after the club failed to land Benjamin Sesko.<\/p>\n
The Magpies have gone from a position of solidity to one of danger over the course of this summer. After confirming Champions League football for next season, they made it evident stars like Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon would not be going anywhere.<\/p>\n
They then looked to improve their attacking options by adding a striker alongside Isak, but missed out on Hugo Ekitike, to Liverpool, and having been in a strong position to Benjamin Sesko, they look likely to lose out on him, with his signing for Manchester United imminent.<\/p>\n
Isak could also move on after telling Newcastle<\/strong><\/a> he wants to go elsewhere, but until they\u2019ve got a replacement lined up, he won\u2019t be leaving.<\/p>\n After a few strikers have left the Magpies high and dry, they have moved onto a new man.<\/p>\n Transfer insider Florian Plettenberg<\/a> reports Newcastle have \u2018opened negotiations\u2019 with Paris Saint-Germain striker Randal Kolo Muani<\/strong><\/a>, who spent the second half of last season on loan with Juventus, where he scored 10 goals and assisted three.<\/p>\n The Frenchman is said to be \u2018high\u2019 on Newcastle\u2019s radar after they failed with Sesko.<\/p>\n They reportedly see Kolo Muani as a \u2018concrete target\u2019 despite the fact they are exploring other options.<\/p>\n Among those other options are Nicolas Jackson, Yoane Wissa and Samu Aghehowa. The former pair are both said to be keen on moves to St James\u2019 Park, and a report has suggested that should Brentford sign a new striker, the Magpies will immediately be able to land Wissa<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Patience from Newcastle\u2019s side is reportedly due to the fact that they know Wissa wants to join, so they don\u2019t have to rush through the transfer.<\/p>\n MORE ON NEWCASTLE FROM F365:
