Newcastle United interested in Duván Zapata
From not playing in the Champions League or European competitions to changing clubs to an English club that is in the same situation. However, they climbed in the rankings of the Premier League in the 2021-22 season. Newcastle United rose from the bottom of the table and occupied the eleventh position when relegation seemed imminent. Duván Zapata will have to think about it, as well as Atalanta with a new offer.
Although Duván Zapata is focused on Atalanta, he returned to preseason, and a worse injury was ruled out at the start of the season, his future with the club in Bergamo is not at all certain. He could change course, and among the interested parties is Newcastle United. In fact, he has already made his debut in a friendly match against an amateur club where he scored a goal.
According to the English media, Express, 'Newcastle can sign Duván Zapata for only 15 million pounds, six months after being valued at 35 million'. A difference of 20 million pounds compared to the offer made in January and rejected by Atalanta in Bergamo. The Italian club will have to think about it, as they would not look favorably on losing that money for the Colombian forward.
Manager Eddie Howe stated that he wants to have the right forwards. One of them could be Duván Zapata, who would come with a bag full of goals from his time at Italian clubs. Chris Wood was not the desired player when he was brought in from Burnley as one of the big signings when Newcastle became a wealthy team.
Without a doubt, Newcastle United could make a much higher offer than the 15 million pounds being offered. As it is currently one of the clubs with great financial capital. Surely Atalanta in Bergamo will reject the offer and wait for a much higher one.
