According to L’Equipe, Newcastle are ready to make a club record move for Rennes star Ismaila Sarr if Rafa Benitez stays at the club this summer.
The report from France claims that Watford have already had a £27m bid rejected for the winger, but claim that Newcastle would be willing to make a superior bid for the highly-rated Senegalese international.
Sarr, 21, is rated as one of the most exciting young talents in France, with him bagging 13 goals and 11 assists last season and possessing frightening pace.
This would be a hugely exciting signing for the club, especially when Sarr’s been regularly linked with Europe’s top clubs recently, but it’s one we can only seriously consider once we know what’s happening with both Benitez and Mike Ashley.
