Newcastle will have to pay. 80 million euros for Suarez
The Tyneside club are leading the race to sign him, but given Sporting’s stance on his future, securing his signature will still not be easy. His contract runs until 2030, so they are in full control of the situation and will only allow him to leave if his contract is terminated. A termination penalty of 80 million euros will be imposed.
The asking price is certainly on the high side for those who only value 28 million euros. It will be interesting to see if the Magpies are willing to comply with Sporting’s demands. Given their financial limitations, that seems unlikely. However, if Nick Waltemade, who is rumored to be leaving the club, leaves the club, that is a possibility.
