British media: Although Newcastle is paying attention to Gallish, he is not the priority target for signing

June 10 According to British media thenorthernecho, although Newcastle is paying attention to Gallish's situation at Manchester City, he is not the team's priority at the moment.

Newcastle's transfer rumours are rampant, and the 29-year-old England international is expected to leave the Etihad Stadium before the start of the new season. During the weekend, news about Newcastle's intention to sign Galish again surfaced.

Newcastle's signing team is closely following the news about Gallish and they will also consider signing the midfielder if the conditions are right. However, Newcastle has not officially made a offer to Manchester City at present.

Glalish does not meet one of the three priority positions Newcastle has identified this summer, with the team hoping to sign a goalkeeper, a centre-back and a right-road attacker, and Newcastle may also introduce another center if Wilson refuses the club's new contract.

Although Gallish has served as a mid-lane attacker or "No. 10" position in the past, he has played mainly on the left side in Manchester City and England national teams in recent years, where Newcastle has already competed for the starter with Gordon and Barnes.

In addition, Gallish's transfer fee is also a complicated issue. Manchester City reportedly are willing to sell Galish this summer but demand at least £60 million. This will greatly consume Newcastle's budget, and they would rather spend most of their funds on priority signings. Signing Galish will not solve the team's current key needs.

Manchester City are also willing to consider a loan plan, but this still requires Newcastle to bear the high cost. Manchester City hopes to get a considerable upfront payment when loaning Gralish, while his high salary is also an unbearable burden for any club.

Glalish is reportedly earning £300,000 per week at Manchester City, which will make him the highest-paid player in Newcastle. Newcastle won't break the existing salary cap for the loan, and while City may agree to pay a portion of their salary, they're unlikely to help long-term competitors like Newcastle.

Newcastle expects the transfer market to remain liquid throughout the summer, so attitudes towards Galish may change. But for the time being, they will only continue to observe and will not take further action.

, by contrast, Newcastle is more eager to sign a right-hand attacker as soon as possible. Ilanga and Joao Pedro are their two main targets unless Mbemo abandons his plan to join Manchester United and suddenly becomes signable.

Newcastle has previously expressed interest in Ilanga and Pedro, and both players are likely to transfer this summer. Iranga seems to be leaving Nottingham Forest, and Pedro's future in Brighton is full of uncertainty as Brighton is close to signing Greek international Kostulas from Olympiacos for 40 million euros.
