Newcastle United are to return with a £10million bid for Galatasaray forward Garry Rodrigues in the summer, according to Fotomac.
The Turkish news outlet report that the Magpies submitted a £6million offer for the 27-year-old Cape Verde international in January, and will return with a renewed bid at the end of the season.
Fotomac claim that Newcastle are keeping close tabs on Rodrigues’ progress between now and the end of the campaign, and are expected to table a £10million offer.
Rodrigues has made 26 appearances for Galatasaray this season in all competitions, scoring five goals and laying on seven assists.
Good move for Newcastle United?
Yes.
Rodrigues has shown his quality for Galatasary in recent weeks, and looks to be a solid addition to the Newcastle squad.
The Cape Verde international loves to take players on, and his pace and trickery means that he succeeds more often than not.
The Magpies have been crying out for such a player this season, and if they secure Premier League survival, then Rodrigues would be a great addition this summer.

Likely to happen?
If Newcastle do submit a £10million bid, then it is definitely possible.
However, other reports have suggested that Galatasaray will hold out for a fee closer to the one that Stoke paid for Badou Ndiaye – around £14million.
