Newcastle United ‘set to announce’ signing of Miodrag Pivaš

Newcastle United are closing in on the acquisition of Miodrag Pivaš, a 19-year-old wonderkid who currently plays for FK Jedinstvo in his native Serbia.

This is according to a report from Serbian outlet MozzartSport, who mention that the Toon will pay a fee of around £800,000 for his services. Additionally, they will also include a 20% sell-on clause in his contract.

Liverpool have yet to make ‘contact’ with Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi transfer

Liverpool, alongside ‘many’ other top clubs have been heavily linked with a move for Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi over the course of the summer. Despite this, none of them - Liverpool included - have made a formal approach for the player as of yet.

This is according to a report from journalist Fabrizio Romano, who mentioned that Guehi ‘wants to focus on the tournament’. As such, offers for Guehi may come flying in after the conclusion of Euro 2024.

Speaking with CaughtOffside, Romano said: “In terms of names coming in for the defence, Marc Guehi has been linked with Liverpool (as well as other clubs) several times and he’s impressing with England at the Euros.

“There is interest from many clubs, but nothing close or concrete yet as he wants to focus on the tournament now and not be distracted. For sure Guehi remains an interesting name for this summer with two years left on his contract at Crystal Palace.”
