Report: Newcastle United would-be owners have made their post-takeover plans clear to Antero Henrique

According to RMC Sport, Newcastle United would-be owners have gotten in touch with former Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Antero Henrique, and the Portuguese is open to becoming a part of their project at St. James’ Park.

Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund are backing a £300 million bid to buy the Magpies from owner Mike Ashley, with PCP Capital Partners’ Amanda Staveley leading talks and fronting the bid on their behalf.

While the Premier League’s directors’ and owners’ test is taking forever, Newcastle would-be owners have continued to make post-takeover plans and have told Henrique they want him to make the club the next Manchester City.
