Newcastle have been forced to abandon their attempts to sign Alexander Isak and Moussa Diaby due to being quoted extortionate transfer fees, reports suggest. The Magpies are enduring a tough start to life as the richest football club in the world.
Newcastle hired Dan Ashworth to help head up their transfer attempts this summer, with the Brighton supremo being tasked with strengthening Eddie Howe’s side ahead of the new season.
They’ve already completed deals to sign Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman, but they’ve been unable to strengthen further up the pitch. Attempts to sign Hugo Ekitike ended after his agents reportedly continued to offer him around despite the Magpies’ interest.
It’s no secret Newcastle want to improve their options up front, and had identified both Isak and Diaby as targets. But according to the Telegraph, they’ve now apparently ended interest in both after being quoted extortionate transfer fees.
