Newcastle make another bid for Belgian star

Newcastle make another bid for Belgian star

Newcastle United are preparing a £20 million (€21.67m) bid for Sampdoria star Dennis Praet, accorind got SportItalia.

We revealed last week that, despite reports of a €19 million offer, no actual bid had been received from Samp yet.

That said, the Blucerchiati star - who cost Sampdoria €10 million last summer - has a €25m release clause.

The promoted side has been after the Belgian starlet all summer.

Newcastle haven’t found their landing in the Premier League to be very easy. Praet has been promising over the last few months, and the Northern side sent scouts to watch the Belgian play against Benevento in Samp’s season opener.

Recent reports indicated that Everton were also interested in the former Anderlecht man, who already has Champions League experience under his belt, as well as one cap with a very, very competitive Belgium team.

Sampdoria have, so far, maintained that the 23-year-old will not leave this summer.
