Newcastle should move fast to sign Callum Wilson’s potential replacement, he’s the ‘next Neymar’

The fact that Marcos Leonardo is attracting interest is interesting since it is evident that Newcastle United will need to buy a striker in 2024.

According to reports from Brazil, Newcastle has reached out to Santos regarding the signing of the 20-year-old forward, who UOL reports is expected to be available for between £17.5 million and £22 million.

Although it is a significant sum of money for someone who has never played outside of Brazil, it is a minor price to pay for someone who has the potential to be Newcastle’s line leader for the ensuing ten years.

Newcastle has to sign a replacement for Callum Wilson quickly.

Newcastle only has one senior striker that is fully fit at this time.

 

Due to a groin ailment, Alexander Isak will not be playing until after the international break  Only Callum Wilson, a player who has battled injuries  throughout his Toon career, remains for Eddie Howe.

Given the increased number of fixtures this season, Newcastle is playing two games a week, which is asking too much of him Wilson  must stay healthy in light of Isak’s absence, and Howe will need to use a substitute player to shield the   31-year-old throughout this hectic stretch.

 

 

 

This is the reason Newcastle needs to bring in a player who can back Wilson and eventually replace him.

Even though he is performing excellently, he is now 31 years old, and Newcastle will ultimately need to replace him. Newcastle seems to have discovered the young striker they are after, despite rumors to the contrary.

Despite just being 20 years old, Leonardo has already scored more than 50 goals for Santos, making him ideal for that position. Being called the “next Neymar,” he is seen as having a bright career at the international level due to his outstanding skill in front of goal.

 

Bruno Guimaraes and he will soon be teammates for Brazil, but it would be even better if they could also play together for Newcastle United.

Newcastle lost out on players who were comparable to Marcos Leonardo.
Over the past year, Newcastle has attempted to enter the Brazilian market but has had difficulty closing transactions.

Andrey Santos was expected to sign, but he chose to join with Chelsea instead.

In an attempt to convince Angelo Gabriel to relocate to St. James’ Park, there was a journey to Brazil; nevertheless, he also brought Chelsea his skills.

The Magpies are now eyeing a second Brazilian talent, and they will be desperate to avoid committing three transfer errors in a row.

It will be more difficult said than done because Marcos Leonardo is highly sought after. Clubs throughout Europe are vying for his signature.

Given the level of interest, Newcastle must act quickly to demonstrate to Leonardo their commitment to him and the reasons they think he is the best candidate to take the place of the team’s existing number nine.
