Gary Lineker cracks a joke about potential Newcastle takeover

If the widespread reports are to be believed Mike Ashley has finally agreed a deal to sell Newcastle United.

The Times and other major media outlets have claimed that a deal in the region of £300 million has been agreed to sell Newcastle.

Ashley previously had agreed a deal in the region of £340 million, but it was reduced to £300m as economic circumstances changed.

It has been reported that Amanda Staveley and her partners, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and the Reuben brothers, have already paid £17 million to Ashley, and it is non-refundable.
