Newcastle United offered star with £43m clause as Man United target Magpies midfielder

Newcastle United have until the end of July if they want to cash in on former Everton striker Moise Kean.

The 25-year-old has been watched by the Magpies this term and has set Italian football on fire with 21 goals this term in all competitions. Having left Juventus for £25million last summer to join Fiorentina he has attracted interest from the Magpies and West Ham.

Newcastle United’s defence of the Carabao Cup could be made a little easier next season as they look to benefit from a recently introduced rule.

The Magpies could not have had a tougher run to Wembley this season after beating top three Nottingham Forest on penalties in the second round then seeing off Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool to finally end their trophy drought. True, Newcastle did land a tie with lower league AFC Wimbledon early on this term, but next season could be a lot easier.

For a start Newcastle’s win on Sunday against the Reds mean they will not enter the competition until the third-round stage as they are definitely in Europe next term with a Europa Conference League place the minimum they can expect to achieve.

That was the case in 2023/24 when Newcastle plucked out Manchester City in the third round and won 1-0 to set up a run to the last eight of the competition where they were unfortunately knocked out one penalties at Stamford Bridge to Chelsea.

However, there are also other perks for Eddie Howe and his coaching staff to look out for next season if they qualify
