Newcastle eye Froholdt and mull €75m offer to FC Porto | OneFootball

Victor Froholdt could be on his way to starring in a high-value transfer to the Premier League, with Newcastle considering the midfielder one of their main options to strengthen the middle of the pitch.

According to journalist Dutchie Bowen, the Magpies have already opened talks with FC Porto and are prepared to move forward with a €75 million offer for the Denmark international.

The Dragons, however, do not appear willing to negotiate below the €85 million set out in the player’s release clause. There is therefore a gap of €10 million between the amount the English club may offer and the fee demanded by the Porto side.

So far, there has been no independent confirmation of any talks between the two clubs. Reports previously published by newspaper O Jogo mentioned only contacts between Newcastle and Froholdt’s representatives, with no official approach having been made to FC Porto.

The 20-year-old midfielder is seen by the English club as a possible replacement for Bruno Guimarães, whose move to Arsenal is said to be close to being completed. Angelo Stiller and Lucas Bergvall also remain on Newcastle’s radar.

Signed from Copenhagen in the summer of 2025, Froholdt is under contract with FC Porto until June 2030. The Dane quickly became a key figure in the team and scored the goal that decided the Super Cup against Torreense.

After that match, the player said he was happy to remain at the Dragão and assured that he was focused on the start of the league campaign. For now, there is no confirmation of a formal offer or of any agreement regarding his departure.
