Højbjerg turns down Newcastle move
The Danish midfielder has rejected the Magpies' proposal, forcing Newcastle to explore other midfield targets in the market.
The deal is off. Pierre-Emile Højbjerg has decided to turn down Newcastle's offer, according to an exclusive from Fabrizio Romano, and the agreement is now dead.
The Magpies were prepared to meet Marseille's asking price for the Danish midfielder, but the player has chosen not to accept the English club's project. With this door firmly closed, Newcastle will need to reassess their midfield targets and look for alternatives to strengthen that area of the pitch.
