According to Football Insider, Harvey Barnes could be in danger of leaving Newcastle United, with the club open to accepting the right offer for the talented wide player. The former Leicester City star could be in danger of losing his importance in the squad as the Magpies eye a new winger in this summer window.
Newcastle United might have one of the wealthiest owners in world football, but they are still operating under strict financial guidelines to stay on the right side of PSR. Eddie Howe guided the Magpies back into the Champions League, and ideally, he would like to add to the strength of his current squad rather than having to sell some of his players to bring new ones.
Unfortunately, the Magpies are still not in the right place yet to do that, meaning there might be a high-profile outgoing before they can bring in a top name to the squad. Newcastle United have been angling a move for a new winger, with a host of names already linked in media reports.
Anthony Elanga is a strong target for the Magpies, having seen a bid rejected by Nottingham Forest last summer. Some outlets are insisting that Forest could accept a sizeable offer from suitors. Even if they cannot land the former Manchester United man, other names are being considered but that may not include former target Bryan Mbeumo.
A loan move for Marcus Rashford was also mentioned, while high-profile names such as Xavi Simons have been loosely linked with the Magpies. Noni Madueke is also a target, which indicates Newcastle United are serious about landing a new winger in the summer window.
Should a new winger come in, Harvey Barnes is in danger of leaving the club as he could lose his strong stature in the squad. So far, Barnes has managed to bag a spot for most of his time at the club, and he would want to keep playing regularly as a starter, which could see him depart the club.
Newcastle United did not want to sell Barnes, but now they might be open to considering the right offer for the talented wide man. It remains to be seen which clubs will show an interest in the attacker, and should the Magpies make their intentions about his future clear, there will be offers coming along.
