By Neymar has been linked to Newcastle United this summer, but Eddie Howe reportedly prefers Ferran Torres of Barcelona over him.
Dean Jones, writing on GiveMeSport, asserted that the Magpies manager would choose to sign the Spanish player over the PSG superstar because it would be “easier to control the narrative.”
This summer, there have been rumours that Neymar and Torres would leave their respective clubs. Last season, Newcastle United was undoubtedly the Premier League’s most outstanding team.
Everyone anticipated that they would have a respectable season under Eddie Howe, but no one imagined that they would qualify for the Champions League and advance to a cup final.
Newcastle has performed admirably, and they are anticipated to bolster their team in preparation for a difficult Champions League campaign the following season.
While FootballTransfers reported two weeks ago that Newcastle is interested in signing Barcelona’s ‘amazing’ Ferran Torres, Graeme Bailey said a month ago that Newcastle’s owners are attempting to buy Neymar from PSG this summer.
Eddie Howe prefers to sign Ferran Torres over Brazilian superstar Neymar as it will be easier for him to supervise the dressing room atmosphere. Adding a big superstar to the team may create unprecedented hurdles that could harm the integrity of the team.
Another reason they may not prefer Neymar is because of his astronomical wages which will add a huge gap between him and the rest of the team, and the fact that his age is 31 compared to the 23 year old Ferran Torres.
Ferran Torres is a versatile player who can play many roles in attacking positions and can be developed to become a Spanish superstar.
