Bazoumana Touré: Newcastle closes in on agreement with Hoffenheim
According to Florian Plettenberg, Newcastle United has reached an agreement with TSG Hoffenheim to sign Bazoumana Touré. The transfer fee is reported to be over £40M.
In an unexpected turn of events, Newcastle United seems to be one step away from signing Bazoumana Touré, the promising Ivorian winger just 20 years old, as reported by Florian Plettenberg. The journalist noted that an agreement has been reached with Hoffenheim, although the deal is not yet finalized.
Bazoumana Touré, currently playing for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, has proven his worth in the Bundesliga, where he has been a revelation. With a market value of €40 million and a contract tying him to the German club until June 30, 2029, his arrival at Newcastle could provide a significant boost to the team's attack.
The deal, reportedly around £40M, has been corroborated by other insiders such as David Ornstein and Ben Jacobs, who have also confirmed that the player has been granted permission to travel to Tyneside for a medical examination. This suggests that negotiations are progressing and that the signing could be finalized soon.
Fabrizio Romano, for his part, has also added his stamp of approval by reporting that an agreement has been sealed with the player's agents and Hoffenheim, reinforcing the idea that this transfer is increasingly close to becoming official. Without a doubt, a move that could change the dynamics of Eddie Howe's squad.
