The Magpies should earn about 35,000,000 euros from his sale, but since the buyer is Al Ahly, a club that, like Newcastle, is owned by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, many clubs from the Island expressed their dissatisfaction because they believe that the English club is ‘doing some shady work’ with the books in this way.✍️ We are delighted to announce the signing of Harvey Barnes from Leicester City on a five-year deal.Welcome to Newcastle United, @harveybarnes97! ⚫️⚪️— Newcastle United FC (@NUFC) July 23, 2023 As for Leicester, they are well on their way to also break the 100,000,000 euro mark, but not spent, but earned, having already sold James Maddison to Tottenham for 46,500,000 euro.
