Newcastle United have reportedly set their sights on 17-year-old Brazilian talent Riquelme Filipi from Palmeiras.
According to A Bola, the Magpies are gearing up to initiate negotiations for the young attacker. Brazilian regulations dictate that players cannot leave the country until they reach 18, adding a layer of complexity to potential transfers.
Real Madrid recently secured a significant deal with Palmeiras for another promising talent, Endrick, although his move is set for beyond 2024. Manchester United are also in the race, showing interest in 16-year-old Estevao Willian.
Despite Filipi’s potential availability in January 2025 when he turns 18, Newcastle are reportedly keen on securing the young striker’s future now. The anticipated cost for this promising talent is around €10 million, a figure that may entice Premier League clubs.
The Magpies seem poised to nurture the youngster, making the most of an opportunity to secure a promising prospect for the future. As the negotiations kick off, the football world watches to see if Newcastle can successfully add another exciting Brazilian talent to their squad.
