Newcastle United are interested in the transfer of Brazilian wunderkind Matheus Franca and will push again to bring him to St James Park in the coming days, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Writing in Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing via CaughtOffside’s Substack, the transfer news pundit explained that Newcastle’s interest in Franca could be a bit of an under-the-radar deal to watch out for this January.
Newcastle have put together a smart recruiting strategy since their takeover last year, with a mix of big names and promising young players arriving so far.
Franca is another top prospect, with Romano explaining that he rates him very highly, and it appears the Magpies are determined to try and close this deal soon.

“It’s going to be a busy January for sure, and one possible transfer I would keep an eye on is one of my favorite talents: Matheus Franca,” Romano said. “He is doing very well at Flamengo and Newcastle are interested in signing him, but there is still no full agreement.
“Newcastle will push again in the next few days, while Bayer Leverkusen have also been following him for a long time.”
Newcastle fans will surely be hoping that their club can beat competition from Leverkusen for this signing, with Franca looking like a player who could go on to help NUFC to promotion and become a serious force in the race for the top four.
