Newcastle will return with a third bid of £10 million for Galatasaray winger Garry Rodrigues this amid reports of interest from Everton and Stoke City
Fotomac are reporting that Newcastle will make a fresh approach for the Cape Verde international at the end of the season in an attempt to finally secure his signature after seeing two previous bids knocked back by Galatasaray.
Despite being able to call upon Christian Atsu, Jacob Murphy and Matt Ritchie, it seems Rafa Benitez is keen to have another winger at his disposal, and Dutch-born Rodrigues’ blistering pace allied with a fairly consistent end product clearly appeal to the Magpies boss.
The 27-year-old has five goals and seven assists in 26 appearances for Galatasaray this season, a return that has piqued the interest of Everton and Stoke City according to SporX.
Should Newcastle decide step up their pursuit of Rodrigues they’re likely to encounter stiff competition from their Premier League rivals, with both clubs raiding Turkey during the January transfer window.
Everton secured the signature of striker Cenk Tosun from Besiktas, a player understood to have been targeted by Rafa Benitez, whilst Stoke bought Badou N’Diaye from Galatasaray and could raid the Turkish giants again.
