Newcastle had a season to forget, target Sporting star | OneFootball

Luis Suárez continues to attract attention in the Premier League. Newcastle, the club managed by Eddie Howe, is one of the sides that has been closely monitoring the performances of the ‘number 97’, having watched the Sporting player on several occasions.

Despite the interest, there is still no formal offer on the table for the green-and-white SAD, according to newspaper ‘Record’. At this stage, the forward’s focus is on finishing the season in the best possible way, by winning the Portuguese Cup and reclaiming second place in the league.

Sporting feel protected by the €80 million release clause and are not willing to negotiate the player below that amount. The ‘Magpies’ are currently in 13th place, after having qualified for the Champions League last season, and are looking to make several signings in the summer.

The player himself is also going through a stable period in Portugal, despite a troubled personal moment. After arriving from Almería, the Colombian found an atmosphere of trust and support at Alvalade, both within the club and among the fans.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Luis Suárez – valued at €28 million – has made 50 appearances: 30 in Liga Portugal Betclic, 12 in the Champions League, six in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 4,067 minutes he has been on the pitch, the striker has scored 35 goals and provided seven assists.
