A lot of Newcastle United fans have been left fuming at reports that academy graduate Matty Longstaff is likely to join Udinese on a free after the Serie A outfit offered him double what the Magpies are offering.
According to Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie, the Italians are ready to pay the 20-year-old £30,000-a-week, more than 30 times the £850-a-week development player contract he is currently on.
Matty was in Italy prior to the lockdown and talks were held with Udinese over a five-year deal.
Newcastle haven’t been able to continue talks with the midfielder as the takeover saga has seen negotiations reach a dead end.
