Newcastle United has shown interest in acquiring Facundo Medina as they aim to address their defensive weaknesses and prepare for their upcoming participation in European competitions next season. The club is contemplating a summer transfer for the Argentine defender from RC Lens. Although Medina's contract with RC Lens has been extended until 2028, he is considering leaving the club due to its financial issues, which have forced them to sell players. Despite the contract extension, RC Lens is willing to sell Medina for a fee reportedly between €30-35 million. Medina's potential transfer to Newcastle could be facilitated by the club's financial resources, making Newcastle an appealing destination for the player, who is eager to join a more ambitious team. His ability to perform in various defensive positions makes him an attractive prospect for Newcastle, who are intent on bolstering their defense after conceding 39 goals in the Premier League this season.
