City continue to sell, ‘mini Rodri’ moves to Newcastle

The loss of Sandro Tonali, followed by Bruno Guimaraes, showed that Newcastle’s project had lost its way and fallen well short of all the talk and expectations that a serious new contender was being built in the Premier League.

This is exactly what the club needed following Guimaraes’ departure. The Magpies have acquired a technically gifted and hard-working midfielder capable of filling the huge void left behind this August, and the club could hardly have picked a better moment to officially announce the deal than on the eve of a competitive fixture.Nico is unveiled in front of a sold-out crowd at St. James’ Park 🙌🇪🇸 pic.twitter.com/ZRAQgGFA9x— Newcastle United (@NUFC) August 26, 2026 New coach Matthias Jaissle had asked the sporting department to brin..
