Newcastle United transfer rumours as Magpies' Jesse Lingard loan move 'rejected'

Here's a round-up of the latest Newcastle United transfer rumours on Thursday, 20 January.

Manchester United 'rebuff' Jesse Lingard loan

Newcastle's loan move for Jesse Lingard has been 'rebuffed', according to the latest reports.

However, the report adds the Magpies could get a breakthrough if they offer a sizeable fee for the midfielder.

Manchester United are keen on keeping the academy graduate at Old Trafford, despite his contract expiring in the summer.

Lingard was not part of the Red Devils matchday squad to face Brentford yesterday evening, prompting further speculation about his future.

Ralf Rangnick's side are looking to keep the 29-year-old at Old Trafford beyond January, but Lingard wants regular game time ahead of the World Cup next year.

Newcastle sent Diego Carlos warning shot

Sevilla's message on Diego Carlos remains clear with Newcastle United expected to bid up in order to win his services.

The Brazilian was not only named on the team sheet tonight but the La Liga side posted an image of the defender stating: "Diego is in the building" ahead of their clash against Valencia at the Mestalla.

The Magpies have had a series of bids turned down as Sevilla look to hold out for an astronomical figure for the South American.

Newcastle's current offer is believed to sit at €36million but Sevilla are protected by a minimum fee release clause of more than double that figure.

Sources in Spain say Newcastle won't have to hit the £80million - the amount on his clause - but Sevilla feel they have no reason to sell.

And while Carlos has asked if he can move this January, he also gave his manager Julen Lopetegui there would be no disruption behind the scenes and he'd comply with the coaching staff - hence his start this evening in the huge clash away to Valencia.
