Newcastle has been in advanced discussions for several days, but #LFC has entered the fray, verbally agreeing terms with Manzambi and finalizing a £60 million deal.

Everything is prepared for signing, promising another significant surprise.

The 20-year-old has also verbally accepted personal terms, but the Magpies are exercising caution, as no deal will be officially completed until his participation in the World Cup concludes.

Manzambi has been one of Switzerland’s standout players, netting three goals—including a brace against Bosnia & Herzegovina—and providing two assists to help his nation progress to the quarter-finals, where they will face Argentina on Sunday (kick-off 2am BST).

Despite being a major doubt for the match due to a knee injury that also caused him to miss the last 16 penalty shootout victory over Colombia, he remains with the squad to support his teammates.

Newcastle United has agreed on a deal for Johan Manzambi, but it’s not finalized until it’s finalized.

Manzambi had drawn interest from various Premier League and European clubs even before the World Cup commenced, following an impressive season with Freiburg, where he scored seven goals and provided seven assists, aiding the Bundesliga team in finishing seventh and reaching the Europa League final.

While Newcastle has a verbal agreement with both Freiburg and Manzambi, sources emphasize that it’s not complete until it’s complete, as evidenced by the Victor Munoz saga.

The Magpies had an agreement with Osasuna for Munoz and were informed that the Spanish winger preferred to join them over Liverpool, but a last-minute change of heart allowed the Reds to hijack the deal.
