Report: Newcastle United join the race for Philippe Coutinho

If the Newcastle United takeover officially takes place, the iconic club will enter a new era that promises to be a lot more exciting than what it is under Mike Ashley.

With a bank balance of over £2 billion, Mohammed Bil Salman, who is due to buy 80% stake of Newcastle, is expected to spend over £200 million on recruitment and infrastructure, although the club are looking to progress step by step.

The Magpies fans will love that idea that the potential owners would be spending big on buying quality players, especially at a time when the transfer market would be deeply affected by the impact of the Coronavirus.
