Premier League
Oihan Sancet could become one of the standout names in the market if he eventually leaves Athletic Club to start a new chapter in the Premier League. Newcastle has set its sights on the talented Navarrese midfielder as one of the potential star reinforcements for the upcoming season. At St. James’ Park, they value his ability to operate between the lines and create imbalance in the final third of the field, qualities that make him an attractive profile for the style of play they aim to implement.
Newcastle Highly Interested in Oihan Sancet
However, the operation is subject to several conditions. The English club expects to receive a financial injection close to 150 million euros if they manage to close Alexander Isak's sale, which would allow them room to maneuver in the market. In that scenario, the Magpies' executives would be willing to put €70 million on the table to secure the services of the red-and-white player, a high figure but slightly lower than stipulated in his contract.
Sancet's bond with the Basque team includes an €80 million release clause, giving Athletic a strong position in negotiations. In Bilbao, they have no intention of facilitating his departure unless very favorable conditions are presented. The club's strong commitment to its academy and the importance the midfielder has gained in Ernesto Valverde's scheme mean his departure is not taken lightly.
Sancet, on his part, has not publicly expressed a desire to change allegiance, but he is aware of the interest he has raised outside of Spain. He is closely followed in England, and Newcastle believes his arrival could elevate the team's competitive level. Everything will depend on the movements that take place in the coming weeks.
