Newcastle United’s intention to compete with Real Madrid for one of the brightest young defensive talents in international football kicks off Wednesday’s Premier League transfer speculation round-up.
According to Fichajes, the Magpies are willing to make a proposal of roughly £60.2 million to recruit Goncalo Inacio from Sporting CP, but will face competition from Real.
Despite being only 22 years old, the centre-back has made over 150 first-team appearances for his current club and is a regular senior international for Portugal. As things currently stand, it appears that the player would prefer a move to Spain than a move to St. James’ Park, but with Newcastle exploring a January bid, it remains to be seen whether his attitude is unbreakable.
Spurs are in talks with Todibo.
Tottenham are reportedly in negotiations with OGC Nice about a January transfer for centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo. According to football.london, Spurs are looking to bolster at the back after a recent injury problem, and the Frenchman appears to be one potential target.
After started his career with Toulouse, the 23-year-old spent time at Barcelona before returning to his native nation on a permanent basis in 2021 after first joining for Nice on loan. Todibo has appeared 14 times in Ligue 1 this season, with his current team second in the table, five points behind league leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
