Newcastle now desperate to sign £34m player, talks have been held
Newcastle United want to sign Monaco defender Axel Disasi but a deal hasn’t advanced yet.
That’s according to journalist Fabrizio Romano who was speaking to Give Me Sport about the French international.
Newcastle have approached this transfer window is a very measured way.
Financial Fair Play appears to be hampering their efforts to invest heavily in the squad.
They’ve already spent a hefty sum to sign Italian international midfielder Sandro Tonali.
A deal to sign Harvey Barnes from Leicester City also appears to be very close.
Eddie Howe will be keen to bring in several more players before the transfer window closes.
That may rely on players being sold first, with Allan Saint-Maximin looking like the most likely candidate right now.
Newcastle now want Axel Disasi from Ligue 1 side Monaco to create some competition for Fabian Schar and Sven Botman.
They may face competition from some of their Premier League rivals, which has already hampered their pursuit of the likes of James Maddison.
Newcastle want Disasi
Speaking about the 25-year-old’s future, Jacobs said: “The interest is serious and they had conversations on the player’s side.
“It is not something that is advanced yet, on the club side. I think this is the crucial part of the story.”
The £34m-rated centre-back was part of the France squad that reached the final of the World Cup.
It’s been reported before that Newcastle have held talks with Disasi’s representatives, but their interest still remains even if a deal is moving slowly.

And according to Football Transfers, Cherki’s agents have been over in London discussing a potential move to Tottenham
Football Transfers also reports that Chelsea hope to muscle in on any deal as well, with the attacking midfielder thought to have a range of options to choose from.
Cherki, 19, has already played more than 80 times in Ligue 1 and is expected to become one of the stars of the French national team in the future.
Lauded for having ‘exceptional‘ qualities, Cherki is already a regular feature in the France under-21 set up. The next step for him, of course, is to make his mark in the first-team.
Tottenham, of course, are looking to add new players for their new boss, Ange Postecoglou. Having already signed James Maddison, it remains to be seen if another attacking midfielder is on Ange’s mind.
