£3.5m bid rejected – why Newcastle must blow rivals out of the water for West Ham ace
Future of Darlow – deal could be struck?
The Sun claims Middlesbrough have also had a bid of £5million rejected for Darlow, as Monk searches for a new goalkeeper.
Boro would be in a better position to strike a deal with the Toon and bring Darlow to the Riverside Stadium if they allow Newcastle to move for Randolph.
With Randolph moving to Newcastle, that would open the door for Darlow to leave and Benitez’s side may be more willing to consider Boro’s offer – and they’d make a £1.5million profit overall.
