Report: Newcastle United think Matty Longstaff will end up at Watford

According to The Daily Mail, Newcastle United think that Matty Longstaff will end up at Watford.

It has been reported that Longstaff have turned down Newcastle’s verbal offer of £20,000 per week, as he wants £25,000 per week as salary, with Udinese willing to pay him £30,000 every week.

The report has claimed that Newcastle believe that the 20-year-old midfielder will end up at Premier League rivals Watford, as the Hornets and Italian outfit Udinese are both owned by the Pozzo family and “have a history of trading players”.

It has been added that Udinese would have to pay £450,000 in compensation fee to Newcastle for their academy graduate, while if he were to join Watford, then the Magpies could get £3 million via a tribunal.
