Newcastle United say that every player has a price and one of their stars will have to be sold if they are to beat financial rules and challenge at the top of the Premier League.
That was the message from chief executive Darren Eales as he outlined how restrictive Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) are on the Saudi-owned club’s spending power, also warning there is not scope for a significant incoming this month.
Asked if one of Bruno Guimaraes, Sven Botman or Alexander Isak would be sold in the summer, Eales said: ‘It’s difficult to hypothesis but, if we’re offered £1billion for one of those players, then no-one could argue against that making sense.
