Newcastle gears are starting to work.
According to reports, the Saudi-owned English club is interested in signing Porto striker Luis Diaz and is prepared to do a lot to get the deal done.
How much?
The Colombian's release clause currently stands at £ 67.5 million (€ 80 million). By comparison, the most valuable player in Newcastle history is Jolington, for whom he paid almost £ 40 million to Hoffenheim.
In a simple calculation, if the Magpies do land Dias, they will break the club's transfer record by almost twice as much.
Following the dismissal of her coach Steve Bruce, Newcastle is preparing with all its might for the Saudis' big money era and strives to reach the top with glittering signings and as we have already come to understand - money is not what will stop it.
The @NUFC will be preparing 80 million euros to deliver Luis Díaz 💰 What are these possible deals?
