While the name of Jesse Lingard has recently been linked to FC Barcelona, which seems to want to continue to profit from the contractual situations of certain players in Europe, Newcastle should ultimately not jeopardize FC Barcelona's plans with England international Manchester United. Or at least now. Loaned to West Ham throughout the second half of the season last year, Jesse Lingard had shone in London at the Hammers. In the offseason, the 27-year-old attacking midfielder trained in the Red Devils academy returned to Manchester United where he found Cristiano Ronaldo which then played with the first team of United when he played among the young people of the Mancunian club. Under contract until next June at Old Trafford, Lingard could pack up. Especially since FC Barcelona would be in line, ready to take advantage of the good financial operations on the transfer market. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer conveyed the following message lately. “We want to extend Jesse Lingard's contract. We see him as an important player for us. (…) I hope we can find a deal for Jesse because we really like him. ” But this would not be the only obstacle for FC Barcelona for Lingard. Newcastle would leave the field open to Barça for Lingard! Lately, there has been talk of Everton and t Newcastle United interests especially for Jesse Lingard . As for the Magpies, who recently moved to the Saudi flag, FC Barcelona wouldn't really worry. Indeed, according to Eurosport UK, the priority of Newcastle would lie in the appointment of its new coach after having formalized the departure by mutual agreement of Steve Bruce Wednesday. FC Barcelona could therefore take a break. Skip back to main navigation
