British media Chronicle Live reported that Newcastle United received a request from Wolves striker Strand Larson to join, and the 25-year-old Norwegian international Strand Larson is eager to join Newcastle United.
Larson expressed a strong transfer intention after late-night talks between Wolves and Newcastle United on Tuesday night, according to sources close to the players. Newcastle United had offered Larson for £50 million but was rejected by Wolves on Monday. Newcastle United then raised its offer to £55 million, but was also rejected by Wolves. Newcastle United believes that Larson can replace Callum Wilson's position, but the situation in Alexander Isaac is still unresolved. Newcastle United bosses are working hard to convince Isaac to stay.
Wolves are expected to ask for at least £60 million before they let Larson go, who only moved permanently from Celta to Wolves last month. However, Newcastle United is being asked to pay almost twice the amount Wolves paid on July 1.
Larsson scored 14 goals for Wolves in the Premier League last season, many of which were scored against relegated Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich. Last night in the League Cup against West Ham United, Larson came on as a substitute and scored his first goal of the season, helping the team defeat his opponent 3-2.
Wolves coach Vittor Pereira said: "Until now, Larson is still our player, we will see what happens next. Football is like this, every player has a price. But he is very important to us. I know he really wants to play every game."
Former Norwegian international Fjotoft posted a second offer on X and said: "The £55 million offer was rejected, but I heard that Newcastle United Bid again. Larson has made it clear that he hopes the deal will be reached and he wants to play for Newcastle United. "
Newcastle United coach Eddie Howe admitted on Monday that the club's signing list has changed since the start of the transfer window, saying: "The early and final goals of the transfer window are always different because many players have already transferred. We are still active in the market, but we must act cautiously to ensure that it does not affect future transfer windows and financial situations."
