Newcastle United is considering selling Yankuba Minteh, says journalist Martijn Krabbendam Football International in the Dick Voormekaar Podcast Extra. As a result, it is by no means certain that the nineteen-year-old winger will also be able to be admired at Feyenoord next season. The Rotterdammers hope to rent Minteh for another year the Magpies.
In recent months it has become clear that Feyenoord is committed to a longer stay for Minteh in De Kuip. However, a new development could throw a spanner in the works. “Newcastle United is having a bit of a problem with the financial fair play rules, I heard this week,” said Krabbendam.
According to the journalist, the current situation at Newcastle United could have negative consequences for Feyenoord. “They might consider selling Minteh. Then Feyenoord has no chance. They just can't afford that. He is worth more than twenty million euros. That will be something to replace him.” Minteh is contracted to Newcastle United until mid-2028.
It seems impossible for Feyenoord to bring Minteh to South Rotterdam on a permanent basis. Newcastle United transferred 7 million euros to Odense Boldklub for the lightning-fast winger last summer. Transfer market now values the four-time Gambia international at 12 million euros.
Minteh is having an excellent season at Feyenoord, which means he is currently well in the market. The winger has already played a total of 1,961 minutes on behalf of the Rotterdam team, spread over 36 appearances. Minteh scored eleven goals and six assists, a good average for a teenager who is in his second year in Europe.
Van Hanegem
Willem van Hanegem would regret it if Minteh leaves Feyenoord, the legendary club icon said on Friday in the Willem & Wessel podcast from the Algemeen Dagblad. “If I were Feyenoord, I would always bring him in. I also saw Newcastle play this week and he can take that with two fingers up his nose.” Newcastle United lost 3-2 last Wednesday when they visited the struggling Manchester United.
The Curve is really impressed by what Minteh has shown in his debut season at Feyenoord. “That boy is nineteen years old and has not even been playing football for very long. I do hope that he becomes a world top player, because he is also a funny guy.”
