With their place in the Champions League ready, the Magpies begin to comb all the markets to consolidate a squad that not only makes it past the group stage, but also goes far in international competition.
Newcastle United has already masterfully secured its place in the 2023-24 Champions League, and therefore seeks to form an elite team. This includes reinforcing all the fronts, plots and flanks, with high-class signings. The sports management of The Magpieshas started combing the LaLiga Santander market, exactly in the Athletic Club.
In the León squad, they have found a strong, safe and fast central defender, who is precisely in Ernesto Valverde’s starting eleven. We are talking about the man from Vitoria, Daniel Vivian Moreno, better known as Dani Vivian. At 23 years of age, the Basque has already managed to get a place in the initial squad, in the second season that he has been a member of San Mamés.
Vivian’s clause will not be a problem for Newcastle, and even less with their Champions League goal
In order to play an important role in international competition, the English club knows that it must have the best players of the moment. But they are also aware that those footballers are priced in large amounts of money. For the new millionaire in Europe, that will not be a big problem, since they are willing to throw the house out of the window.
Dani Vivian is valued at 14 million euros and his contract is signed until 2026, with a clause that amounts to 40 kilos. A more than affordable figure for the British team, taking into account the quality of the 23-year-old defender. In this way, in Athletic they have no choice but to wait for the offer where they will not be able to do anything.
Lion sentiment could ruin Newcastle’s plans in the Champions League
What they are not counting on in the offices of the Magpies, is that the Basque defender is very excited to continue wearing the colors of the team where he is a fan. “For someone who is from Athletic like me, it is a tremendous illusion, an enormous joy. I thank the club for all the trust it has placed in me since I arrived at Lezama and I will try to repay it with victories like yesterday and with titles” Vivian sentenced.
On the other hand, the offer from Newcastle United is just the start of a potentially successful professional career for Dani Vivian. The player knows very well that the Premier League is one of the best competitions in the world, and therefore one of the highest level. It will be the defender’s decision if he leaves Athletic next season, or later.
