Newcastle has the chance to present him with a contract offer that would be difficult for him to reject.

As Aston Villa plots a Man Utd transfer battle, the £34 million star may have ‘no choice’ but to join Newcastle United.

Mamardashvili is a special talent, and one who would represent a real coup for Newcastle. Of course, the biggest loser in all of this would be Nick Pope, who would presumably have his number one jersey taken away from him, but from the Magpies’ perspective alone, this would be a savvy deal.

The Georgian is rumored to have “already started talks” with both teams, with Newcastle openly expressing their desire to sign him. The maximum amount Valencia may ask for is £34.2 million; the Magpies would prefer to pay about £29.9 million. While Mamardashvili hasn’t declared that he won’t be remaining put this summer, he is reportedly aware that Newcastle has the opportunity to make a contract offer that he would find difficult to decline.

In other news, Tutto Juve reports that Aston Villa is considering a move for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot. Because of the uncertainties surrounding his future in Italy, the Villans are reportedly “thinking about” the Frenchman ahead of their Champions League bid the following season.
