Newcastle initiates a bid to acquire a Manchester United legend on a free transfer in the January transfer window.
Shearer desires Newcastle to secure the signature of De Gea, a goalkeeper available since summer. The Magpies are also interested in acquiring Phillips from Man City. What occurred? The former Magpies star advocates for the club to enlist a fresh goalkeeper and a striker in the January transfer window to strengthen their squad for the second phase of the season. He specifically endorses the name of the ex-Manchester United custodian, De Gea, who is currently a free agent.
ALAN SHEARER'S STATEMENT
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, the former England international said: "I would agree goalkeeper and centre forward would be the two main priorities for me."
When asked if the club should go after De Gea, Shearer added: "Yeah, I would. I think Newcastle need a goalkeeper, and De Gea is out there. I know the salary would be huge but they wouldn’t have to pay a fee for him."
THE GREATER PERSPECTIVE
Newcastle has been associated with pursuing the Spanish goalkeeper following the absence of their primary goalkeeper, Nick Pope, due to a prolonged injury. The English goalkeeper sustained a shoulder injury this month in a match against the Red Devils, and his recovery period is anticipated to extend for a minimum of five months.
WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR NEWCASTLE?
Eddie Howe's team is also associated with a temporary transfer for Manchester City's marginalized player, Kalvin Phillips, who is said to be a primary focus for the club in the upcoming month. Given their financial limitations, it is uncertain whether they can secure two acquisitions once the transfer window opens in January.
