In a significant move, Newcastle United announced the signing of England winger Harvey Barnes from Leicester City in a deal reportedly worth £38 million ($48 million). The 25-year-old has agreed to a five-year contract with the Magpies, ensuring his continued presence in the Premier League despite Leicester’s relegation to the Championship at the end of last season.
Harvey Barnes is expected to fill the void left by Allan Saint-Maximin, who is reportedly set to join Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli. Saint-Maximin’s impending departure has prompted Newcastle to seek a suitable replacement, and Barnes emerged as an attractive option.
