According to L’Équipe (via GFFN), Newcastle United are interested in signing Rennes’ Faitout Maouassa this summer and will look to beat Manchester United to his signature.
The English Premier League duo have both been tracking the progress of the 21-year-old in recent months, and the Magpies even made move to sign him in January.
However, their £7 million bid was knocked back, but they remain in contact with the representatives of the French winger.
Maouassa’s current contract with Rennes runs out in the summer of 2021, and he is yet to enter into talks about a renewal.
