Newcastle star claims Real, Barca and Atleti want him
The Magpies star scored nine goals and added six assists as the Northern club quickly returned to the Premier League, after a one-year absence.
​Perez confirmed that he’s been getting a lot of interest from all quarters, and told El Larguero that Spain’s two biggest clubs were after him.
He was, in fact, originally asked whether Atletico Madrid had also sent feelers. The 23-year-old, who has become a fan idol at Saint James’ Park, replied that “the best [teams to pursue him] wore a blaugrana shirt.
“There was some blaugrana [interest], some white [Real Marid].
“I had the most interest from England, but one needs to work for these things to happen”.
Ayoze joined the Magpies for just €2 million in 2014. Were Newcastle to sell him on to any La Liga giant, they’ll surely rack up a tidy profit for the former Tenerife youth.
