Seems that Levy has successfully p'd everyone off, including his own player and manager, with his ever-so-ironic greed. The stupid chancer now looks like he's written off around £6m by keeping Townsend, who simply doesn't play, for another 4 months. Anyway, point of thread is we've apparently never been as keen as the media claimed (claim the media), and are looking to secure Sandro Ramirez on an £8m deal from Barcelona.

Seems like we might be attempting to kill a Townsend AND Berahino with one stone, although Ramirez seems to be a Perez clone.

That has led Newcastle to switch their attentions elsewhere, with the Barcelona forward Sandro Ramírez understood to be on their wanted list. Having tried to sign the Spain Under-21 international in the summer, Ramírez, who can also play as a striker, is available on loan having rejected the chance to join Real Betis this week.
