FC Porto want nearly €85m from Newcastle for Victor Froholdt | OneFootball

Victor Froholdt is one of the names being considered by Newcastle to strengthen the midfield if Bruno Guimarães leaves the English club during this transfer window.

According to Correio da Manhã, the Magpies are closely monitoring the Denmark international, who is seen as a possible alternative to the Brazilian midfielder, whose future at St. James’ Park remains undecided.

The deal, however, could prove difficult because of the price demanded by FC Porto. André Villas-Boas's board is not willing to negotiate Froholdt’s departure for just any amount and is pointing to a fee in the region of €85 million, matching the player’s release clause.

No formal offer has been submitted by Newcastle so far. At this stage, the Premier League side is said to be preparing several options for the squad in case Bruno Guimarães departs.

Signed from Copenhagen in the summer of 2025 for €20 million, with a further €2 million possible through performance-related bonuses, Froholdt is under contract with the Dragons until June 2030.

Despite being only 20 years old, the Denmark international quickly earned a prominent role at FC Porto, significantly increasing his value over the course of his first season in Portugal.

Newcastle must now assess whether it is willing to meet the financial demands of the blue-and-white club. From FC Porto's side, Froholdt’s departure is only likely to happen in the face of an offer too good to turn down.
