According to Fichajes, Jorge de Frutos is emerging as a target for Newcastle United ahead of the near future. The Rayo Vallecano star has shown plenty of consistency for the Magpies to enter the chase, with a €15 million offer being mooted to convince the Spanish side.
Newcastle United continue to create an image for the long term that they can be amongst the teams that compete for top honours. However, in the present, not every player they bring into the market can be a high-profile one, as they could keep looking at bargain signings.
Meeting PSR obligations have been paramount for the Magpies, which could have ended up restricting them from spending large sums without selling their top names. However, they are always on the lookout for bargain names, as Spanish winger Jorge de Frutos has emerged on their radar.
De Frutos has displayed consistency for Rayo Vallecano this season, with 13 goal contributions recorded in 29 official appearances this term. The winger remains a key member for Vallecano, but the club could be tempted to cash in if a viable offer that suits their cause arrives on their doorstep.
Newcastle United are willing to table a €15 million offer to test Rayo Vallecano’s resolve on the winger. The Spanish outfit may consider the value of the offer, which could pave the way for discussions to commence for the transfer of the 28-year-old.
Crystal Palace were linked with de Frutos earlier in January, but they have chosen to go in another direction following the loan arrival of Evann Guessand. As for the Magpies, they are eager to tie down a deal for the Spaniard as a potential bargain signing, which could bring about some consistency in the troublesome right-wing position.
At the moment, Newcastle United’s massive investment in Anthony Elanga looks bad, and they may have to mask that with a bargain signing such as the Spanish attacker from the relegation-threatened La Liga side. Overall, any move for De Frutos looks likely for the summer rather than now, before the January window closes.
