Jørgen Strand Larsen will be no less exciting for Newcastle after this. Wolverhampton have already received an offer and rejected a bid from “The Magpies”, now there has been a new one.

The Daily Mail writes today that Newcastle have sent a new bid for Jørgen Strand Larsen. – The latest bid is supposed to be 75 million euros, but Wolverhampton demand at least 85 million euros to sell their Norwegian striker.
Wolves would like to keep the 25-year-old, but “must” they sell, it will be expensive. Wolverhampton bought Strand Larsen from Celta Vigo in wines after a loan spell for 27 million euros. Transfermarkt, who does not follow the hour, thinks he is worth 30 million euros. – It will be exciting to see the value in the next update.

In the coming weeks, a national team gathering with Norway is on the agenda. Matches against Finland and Moldova await.
“I haven’t spoken to Jørgen. This is a dream situation for him. He plays the Premier League anyway and can suit both of those clubs, said national team manager Ståle Solbakken about the Østfold man’s club situation at a press conference on Tuesday.
