Newcastle are reportedly interested in signing the Palmeiras winger Giovani at the end of the season.
According to a report from journalist Jorge Nicola, the player will cost around €25 million and Newcastle will face competition from clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Leverkusen.
The 19-year-old is highly rated in Brazil and he has a big future ahead of him. The talented young winger can play on either flank and he can operate as a centre forward as well.
Newcastle could definitely use more depth in their attack and the talented youngster could prove to be a solid long-term investment. The Magpies are hoping to put together a squad capable of challenging for the major trophies in the coming seasons and Giovani would be a quality acquisition.
The opportunity to play for a top Premier League club is likely to be an exciting opportunity for the youngster and he is likely to be tempted to move to Newcastle.
The Magpies are well-placed to secure Champions League qualification and they will be an attractive destination for players if they manage to finish in the top four.
However clubs like Barcelona are always a more appealing option and it remains to be seen whether Newcastle can front of the competition and secure the youngsters services. The 19-year-old should look to join a club where he will get sufficient game time.
Meanwhile, Eddie Howe has done well to nurture talented young players throughout his managerial career and he could help the talented Brazilian develop and fulfil his potential in the coming seasons. If Newcastle can assure him ample game time, they could have an edge over clubs like Barcelona in the transfer race.
