WHAT HAPPENED? Journalist Fabrizio Romano, on Saturday, confirmed that the Brazilian has agreed to put pen to paper on a new five-year deal that will reportedly have a release clause of £100 million (€115m/$122m).
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Earlier this month there were reports that suggested Liverpool were keen on signing the Magpies' midfield star to bolster their squad during the summer transfer window and had even placed a £100 million bid which was rejected by Newcastle who were determined not to sell their star player. Real Madrid were also eyeing a move for the 25-year-old.
