Although it still is not official, the real family of Saudi Arabia seems that it goes to buy the Newcastle to turn into him the new rich club of Europe. First was Chelsea with the arrival of Roman Abrahimovic, later arrived the sheik of the Manchester City and does some years the one of Paris Saint-Germain. Now, it seems that it will be the turn of the 'urracas', that in principle go to be one of the teams with more money of the continent.

If this sucede, expect big changes in the English group. The first of them would be in the bench, since Steve Bruce has not convinced this season and would be replaced by somebody of more name. Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite, but if the Argentinian finish refusing the proposal already there is a 'plan b'. Rafa Benítez would be the alternative that would handle the real family Saudi to seat in the bench.

The Madrilenian left badly of the English team the summer happened after saving to the 'urracas' of the descent. "It wanted a project, no only expand my agreement. It remained clear that the leaders of the club did not share the same vision that I. I am sad thus, but no me arrepiento of my decision to come here", explained a Benítez that had loved to the fans of the Newcastle. After his exit, signed with the Dalian Yifang Chinese, although his course of the Asian group would not be an obstacle to his return to St James' Park.

Already it is speaking of what would have asked the ex madridista to go back and speaks of four concrete names. One of them, that would be the angular stone of his new project, would be Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilian is in the list of transferibles of the Barça​ and the culés are wishing that somebody do an offer by him. In principle, the idea of the group barcelonista is not leaving go out to the mediapunta by less than 100 million euros, but perhaps could accept 70 or 80.

In addition to the Barcelona, Benítez would have asked to Ross Barkley, midfield player of Chelsea; John Stones, head office of the City and the half of the Aston Villa, John McGinn. Also especula with a presumptive interest of the 'urracas' in Edinson Cavani, that finish agreement with the PSG. The charrúa sounds for the Athletic of Madrid and for the Inter of Milan, that would offer him a sportive project more stimulating, although the money of the Newcastle could change his course.

A very interesting option for Coutinho

In England affirm that Coutinho would be the mediapunta in a rhombus with a 4-4-2, with Cavani and Rondón in the forward. For the now player of the Bayern of Munich could be an interesting option for relanzar his career like the big star of an upward team and with ambitions to half term. It is missing to see if the bottom led by the real prince Saudi finish confirming the purchase of the Newcastle and puts hands to the work.
