Newcastle sounded out Samu before moving for Woltemade | OneFootball

The summer transfer market in Portugal closed on September 1st, and Samu remained at FC Porto. The 21-year-old striker has shown a strong connection to the blue and white emblem and, as A BOLA reported in a timely manner, never expressed any intention of moving elsewhere – he feels at home at Dragão and aims to win the title with the club where, since last season, he has also made a name for himself at the European level.

In the last days of the transfer window, Newcastle, which had been pointed out for weeks as interested in the Spanish international, contacted FC Porto's management to inquire about the forward. According to the information gathered, the English club, however, did not make any formal offer for Samu.

In fact, the English club secured the signing of German Nick Woltemade on August 30th, paying 85 million euros to Stuttgart.

The release clause for Samu is set at 100 million euros. It should be noted that, in July, FC Porto acquired 100% of the forward's rights.
