Newcastle United is prepared to banish Yankuba Minteh from the youth team if he refuses to leave this summer. Despite Newcastle accepting a £40m bid from Lyon, Minteh is adamant about staying in the Premier League, with a preference to join Everton. However, Everton has yet to agree on a fee with Newcastle and are unlikely to do so this week.
Newcastle’s urgency for a quick sale stems from concerns over breaching PSR rules, risking a points deduction if they don’t sell players by Sunday’s accounting deadline. Minteh, currently visiting family in Gambia, has no plans to return to Europe soon, complicating the transfer due to the need for a medical.
Minteh was loaned to Feyenoord immediately after his £6.5m signing from Odense Boldklub last summer and made 37 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists. Although he doesn’t feature in Eddie Howe’s plans for next season, Newcastle sources indicated the manager might reconsider if Minteh remains at the club. The 19-year-old has earned six international caps for Gambia since his debut in September.
