Newcastle United are preparing a new bid for Barcelona forward Ferran Torres in a bid to conclude a transfer before the closing of the summer window, according to reports.
The Magpies are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements with both Anthony Gordon and Miguel Almiron linked with moves away from the club, leaving Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphey and Ryan Fraser as their only other senior wingers.
Newcastle have been linked with Torres consistently over the course of this summer, but have thus far failed to come to an agreement with Barcelona.
Eddie Howe’s side made a winning start to the new Premier League season, with a Joelinton goal delivering a 1-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle are lining up an ‘attractive bid’ to try and persuade Torres – a 46-time Spain international and Euro 2024 winner — to move to St. James’ Park this summer.
