Newcastle United made an official attempt to sign the striker Wolverhampton Jorgen Larsen, reports The Athletic. According to the source, Soroky offered 50 million pounds for a 25-year-old Norwegian forward without taking into account possible bonuses, which is about 57.9 million euros.

However, Vulverhampton categorically rejected the proposal and stated that this summer he did not plan to sell Larsen. The club’s management considers the attacker a key figure in the composition and emphasizes that the time to find a full replacement before closing the transfer window is gone.

Currently, the talks between clubs are stopped, but Newcastle views Larsen as a priority candidate for increased attack after Callum Wilson, whose contract has ended this summer. At the same time, the club emphasizes that the transfer of Norwegian is not related to the possible sale of Alexander Isaac.

Larsen himself is interested in the potential transition to St. James Park, but does not require Vulverhampton permission for departure. Last season he spent 38 matches in all tournaments, scored 14 goals and gave five assistants.
