Jesse Lingard alienates Newcastle United with utopian salary demands

Jesse Lingard played only third fiddle at Manchester United last season. Apparently, this experience did not teach the attacking midfielder any humility. On the contrary: With his high standards, he recently blocked a transfer to an up-and-coming club.

Newcastle United have been able to throw money around since being taken over by a Saudi Arabian consortium. Such a team is certainly willing to pay any amount for a preferred player. At least that’s what Jesse Lingard thought and made a lot of speculation about it.

According to information from the Telegraph, the national player alienated those responsible in Newcastle with his demands. The Magpies consider the required weekly salary of almost 175,000 euros to be excessive. Incidentally, the Englishman currently earns half that in Manchester. There would also have been a signing bonus and a number of prizes.

The interested clubs in the Premier League have probably already waved off Lingard’s wishes. For this reason, we are now looking abroad. Juventus Turin and AC Milan, among others, have knocked on the door from Serie A. The Serie A clubs can offer significantly more net than clubs from other leagues thanks to tax advantages for newly brought professionals.

According to ESPN, Jesse Lingard has also been in talks with PSG since his strong interlude at West Ham United. All clubs that, like Newcastle, have enough capital to satisfy Lingard’s monetary needs. Will they turn out to be more generous?
