According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, SC Freiburg phenom is Johan Manzambi will make the move to Newcastle United.
After news broke on Wednesday about the Magpies getting very serious with Manzambi, it appears that all parties are aligned on a deal getting done:
🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE | Newcastle and SC Freiburg have reached a full agreement over the transfer of Johan Manzambi worth €60m.
All agreed between the clubs. #NUFC are now finalising the final details of the agreement
with Manzambi. Long-term contract prepared.
Aston Villa were also in the race following Amadou Onana’s ACL injury, but Newcastle are the clear favourites. Manzambi, who is currently injured, remains fully focused on the World Cup.

While the €60 million will be a massive influx of cash for SC Freiburg, this is yet another example of a Bundesliga club being unable to hold on to young talent. Manzambi had seven goals and nine assists while playing 3,621 minutes for SC Freiburg in 47 games across all competitions last season.
