According to reports, Allan Saint-Maximin has been the subject of inquiries from Chelsea and Tottenham.
Numerous European teams and Premier League rivals are said to be interested in the 25-year-old Frenchman.
However, Newcastle’s high asking price for their prized possession has deterred Chelsea and Spurs from making a move.
Saint-Maximin is worth more than £40 million per speculation. According to rumors, both London clubs believed that because of Newcastle’s enormous wealth, they would accept a discounted price for Saint-Maximin.
Even though they have money to burn, the club is steadfast in their assessment of the Frenchman.
However, his price tag happens to be the hindering block for many clubs. Although rumors claim that Toon will consider offers over £40 million, any proceeds from a possible sale would go toward strengthening the team.
With the £50 million acquisition of Raheem Sterling this summer, Chelsea has already strengthened their front line. In the meantime, Richarlison joined Spurs in a £60 million deal.
Saint-Maximin is anxious to sign a new contract at St. James’ Park after losing his position as one of the club’s highest earners due to the influx of new players since the Saudi-backed takeover.
