Newcastle have been linked with a transfer swoop for Midtjylland playmaker Evander.
Homme du Match claim the Brazilian 23-year-old could be available for around £7 million.
Evander’s nine goals and seven assists helped fire Midtjylland to the Danish league title in 2020.
But his performances and pricetag have also attracted the interest of Spanish champions Atletico Madrid.
That means some Newcastle fans on Twitter don’t think that Evander will be donning the black and white stripes any time soon.
They’re realistic – and probably accurate; Diego Simeone’s men can offer Champions League final and elite teammates for company.
Also, Newcastle have just spent big on Joe Willock. Are they really going to splash out again on another creative midfielder?
Here’s how the report went down on Twitter after Newcastle’s 4-2 defeat on the opening weekend of the season against West Ham:
