According to reports, Barcelona will try to recruit Lewis Hall, a 21-year-old English international, from Newcastle United during the summer transfer window. Barcelona is reportedly interested in Newcastle United star Lewis Hall, according to a SPORT story that Sport Witness reported. In the next transfer window, the defending La Liga champions hope to bolster their defense by acquiring a left-back.
According to the most recent source, Barcelona’s coaching staff “were impressed with his performances” in this season’s UEFA Champions League matches against Newcastle United. In the meanwhile, the Tyneside team will seek about €30 million in order to let go of the Englishman.
Since moving from Chelsea to Newcastle United, Lewis Hall has become one of the top full-backs in the Premier League. The 21-year-old, who was born in Slough, spent more than ten years with the West London team before graduating from Chelsea’s renowned academy. But during his time at Newcastle United, he has become more well-known.
Barcelona line up €30 Lewis Hall swoop
In order to give Hall competition and cover, Newcastle will give priority to acquiring a new left-back during the next transfer window, as Football Insider disclosed back in February. Dan Burn is not considered a long-term candidate to be his understudy, but the North East team hopes to provide further protection for the young player.
However, Newcastle will have little choice but to somewhat alter their transfer strategy if Hall leaves St. James’ this summer. After that, they would undoubtedly need to look to acquire a reliable left-back while possibly still attempting to sign the understudy they had hoped for.
A player like Hall would never cost €30 million in today’s market, thus the report’s stated price tag is dubious, if not absurd. However, it seems doubtful that Newcastle United would accept offers for the English international this summer, according to several sources.
