There is significant news emerging during this lunchtime about potential departures from Newcastle, as reported by Craig Hope. AC Milan has reportedly entered the race to sign Callum Wilson.
The latest report from The Mail’s North East correspondent indicates that AC Milan is keen on securing a permanent deal for 31-year-old Newcastle striker Callum Wilson before the upcoming transfer deadline. Despite Newcastle rejecting a loan bid from Atletico Madrid and expressing their desire to keep Wilson, there is speculation that a late sale might be considered if AC Milan presents an enticing offer.
Wilson, who turns 32 next month, has 18 months left on his current contract. The report suggests that Wilson would be open to discussions regarding a move to the San Siro if Newcastle accepts an offer from AC Milan. In an exclusive report from an NUFC Blog earlier in the day, it was revealed that Newcastle has identified RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko as a potential replacement for Wilson, with a move expected in the summer rather than the final days of the January transfer window.
As reported exclusively by an NUFC Blog earlier today, Newcastle has identified RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko as a potential replacement for Callum Wilson. However, it is expected that any move for the Slovenian forward will be pursued in the summer rather than during the final 10 days of the January transfer window.
