Real Madrid doubt Rodrygo would accept an offer from Newcastle United if it ever arrives

Yahooa day ago
Real Madrid doubt Rodrygo would accept an offer from Newcastle United if one ever arrives, according to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague.
Newcastle want to bolster their attack and have been credited with an interest in the Brazilian forward.
However, they have yet to submit a bid for him.
Madrid want €100 million from suitors for the 24-year-old, but they could sell him for around €60m towards the end of the summer transfer window.
Newcastle are not the only ones looking to bring Rodrygo to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool also believed to be keeping tabs on his situation.
However, none of them have made any move to sign him and he could remain at Madrid beyond this summer.
Newcastle could decide to wait until the final few days of the window before making a concrete move for the versatile forward, but it remains to be seen whether his mind would have changed by then.
Madrid manager Xabi Alonso insists he is in his plans, but Rodrygo made three appearances at the Club World Cup and did not finish any of the games.
The La Liga club played six games at the competition before Paris Saint-Germain eliminated them in the semi-final.
His last appearance was a four-minute cameo in the quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund.
It appears Madrid will not hesitate to sell him if a suitable offer arrives, and the opportunity to get such a player for €60m is one the Toons should not turn down if it presents itself.
They are unlikely to be favourites for his services but they should not hesitate to throw their hat into the ring once it is clear a deal can be done.
He needs to be playing regularly if he wants to go to the World Cup next year, and a Madrid exit could be on the cards in the coming days.
Newcastle will be offering him Champions League football and a place in the starting XI, which could see him consider a move in the long run.

Manchester United Are Ready To Step Up Their Efforts To Land This Sevilla Talent: Good Option For Amorim?

In a recent report, Mundo Deportivo claimed that Manchester United are ready to step up their efforts to land Sevilla talent Lucien Agoume this summer. It has been stated that the Red Devils are determined to recruit the French midfielder in this transfer period. Agoume's Impressive Rise In Spanish Football Agoume enjoyed a solid season at the Andalusian club recently as he managed to impress at times with his performances at the centre of their midfield. The French midfield ace made 37 appearances for Sevilla in the previous campaign, scoring one goal and securing three assists in various competitions. The 23-year-old anchored the midfield well for the Spanish club after he made 70 tackles, 30 blocks, and 41 interceptions in La Liga. He even distributed possession relatively well from midfield, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 79% in the Spanish top tier (stats via His current contract at Sevilla will expire in the summer of 2028, which could make it tough for the Red Devils to sign him on the cheap in this transfer window. SEVILLE, SPAIN – MAY 18: Joaquin Caparros, Head Coach of Sevilla FC, shakes hands with Lucien Agoume after the LaLiga match between Sevilla FC and Real Madrid CF at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on May 18, 2025 in Seville, Spain. (Photo by) Will Agoume Be A Good Option For Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim? Agoume is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to secure the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually clears his lines when the opposition are on the offensive and is a tidy passer of the ball as well. The French sensation can even chip in by scoring and creating the odd goal for his team. However, only time will tell whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to bring him on board this summer. Agoume would no doubt enhance the quality of Man United boss Ruben Amorim's midfield in the long run. He is good enough to serve as a long-term successor to Casemiro at the Mancunian club. At 23, Agoume has got a bright future ahead of him, which makes him an excellent option for Man United to consider before the end of this transfer window. However, Amorim has to give him some time to adjust to life at Old Trafford before he can get the best out of the French midfielder.

Ally McCoist rages at Alexander Isak over Liverpool transfer saga - 'I've got a problem'

Alexander Isak has disappointed Newcastle's fans through his refusal to turn out for the club during his ongoing transfer dispute, according to Rangers icon Ally McCoist. The 25-year-old has made his position crystal clear that he has no intention of representing the club again, while pushing for a switch to Liverpool. Isak issued a statement on Tuesday, suggesting what he maintained were assurances that the club had failed to honor, though Newcastle swiftly responded to refute any such commitments had been given. This leaves Eddie Howe with no choice but to persist without the Swedish forward, with Liverpool visiting St. James' Park next Monday for what promises to be a thrilling Premier League encounter.

While he acknowledges that there are always multiple perspectives to consider, he believes Isak is primarily disappointing the Newcastle faithful with his present position He said: "The right way to do it is, you put in a transfer request or you have a chat with the manager and say, look, I want to play my football somewhere else, whatever, and the manager will then sit down and have a chat with you. "The way he went about it, you could clearly say he had a problem with Newcastle or a problem with somebody at Newcastle. "My argument is he still shouldn't and can't do what he did. "Throwing the toys at the pram is one thing, but actually making the statement that you're not going to play for the club again and let yourself down, let the fans down. That's where I've got a problem. "I understand he'll feel let down, I get that, and we can argue about the rights and wrongs of the gentlemen's agreement. "Who's let them down? Are they out of order? Was it previous owners? Do the new owners feel obliged to honour a gentleman's agreement made by the previous owners? "That's all up for debate and that's a conversation that we can and will have. "What's not up for debate is him throwing the toys out at the pram and then saying, I'm not playing for you anymore? "I think he's particularly letting the fans down." Isak won't be available for Liverpool's visit to Tyneside on Monday, with Anthony Gordon expected to lead the line against Arne Slot's team once more.

Did Noni Madueke's Club World Cup medal end up in the White House? Everything you need to know

Chelsea fans are buzzing over a quirky theory that Noni Madueke's missing FIFA Club World Cup winner's medal might be sitting in the White House. The speculation started after U.S. President Donald Trump hosted a high-profile Ukraine peace meeting this week. While the summit focused on serious diplomatic discussions, football fans noticed something unusual behind the Resolute Desk, the FIFA Club World Cup trophy on display. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The White House (@whitehouse) Chelsea's Triumph in the Club World Cup Chelsea lifted the FIFA Club World Cup in the U.S. last month after beating PSG 3-0 in a memorable final. Trump later revealed that Chelsea had received a replica trophy, with the original trophy placed in the Oval Office. However, it wasn't just the trophy that caught fans' attention. Many believe a winner's medal was visible next to it — sparking rumours that it might belong to Noni Madueke. The Madueke Medal Theory During the trophy presentation, FIFA President Gianni Infantino handed Trump a medal after the Chelsea squad had been recognised. Footage from the event shows Trump pocketing the medal before leaving the stage. At the time, supporters speculated the medal may have belonged to Madueke, who was part of Chelsea's squad but flew home mid-tournament to finalize his £52 million move to Arsenal. As a result, he missed the medal ceremony entirely. Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella even fueled the rumor, joking: 'He [Trump] put it in his pocket. He has it there in the White House, very well placed.' The Truth Behind the Rumour With images circulating of what appears to be a medal sitting beside the Club World Cup trophy in the Oval Office, supporters have connected the dots and concluded it must be Madueke's. However, Daily Mail Sport recently reported that the winger was due to receive his official Club World Cup winner's medal by mail, casting doubt on the fan-driven theory.
