Toon To Tempt Aimar?

Aimar joined Zaragoza from Valencia in 2006 and has made over 50 appearances for the club. However, after their relegation from La Liga last season, Aimar is now keen to leave.

Speaking to the press, Mascardi confirmed the Premier League club’s interest in his player. He said: “Newcastle have asked about Aimar’s situation — that is certain.”

Although there had been rumours that Aimar would be moving to Benfica, his agent revealed that the Spanish club had yet to receive any offers for their player, leaving the path open for Newcastle to bid.

Aimar’s agent also admitted that his player would certainly be interested in moving to England. He confessed: “There has still not been any formal offer for us and Zaragoza to study, but the Premier League would be perfect for him, and I want to speak with Newcastle to take things forward.”

This summer promises to be an interesting one at St James’ Park. The club confirmed the signing of fellow Argentinean Jonas Gutierrez earlier this week, a move which is likely to increase speculation Aimar will join him.

However, there are doubts over the Newcastle futures of James Milner, Obafemi Martins and Joey Barton who have all been linked with moves away from St James’s Park in recent weeks.
