The reported hopes of the prospective new owners of Newcastle United of signing Manchester United loanee Odion Ighalo are fading away.
Earlier this month, Sky Sports reported that the prospective new owners of Newcastle, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, are interested in signing the Nigerian striker on a permanent contract from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua in the summer transfer window.
The former Watford striker joined United on loan from Shanghai in the January transfer window.
That loan deal originally runs out tomorrow, but, according to Goal.com, United and Shanghai are in talks over extending it.
