# Newcastle United: Carles Perez offer made

**Newcastle United have now reportedly made an offer to try and sign Carles Perez before the summer transfer window ends.**

### The Lowdown: Winger needed

The St. James’ Park faithful currently only have three natural wingers in their squad at the moment ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/startseite/verein/762)), and one of them is Jacob Murphy, who may be seen more as a right wing-back when the new 2021/22 Premier League season starts.

Thus, if he, Allan Saint-Maximin or Ryan Fraser were to find themselves injured for a sustained period of time, it would leave Steve Bruce pretty short in that area.

### The Latest: Perez offer

As per Italian football journalist [Rudy Galetti](https://twitter.com/RudyGaletti/status/1425907597878693890), the North East club have ‘officially stepped forward’ to sign Perez, and have made an offer to AS Roma of around €10m (£8.5m) for his signature.

There are ‘ongoing evaluations’ between both teams as the Tyneside club look to strike a deal before the window closes.

### The Verdict: Sign

Given the lack of depth in wide areas, it would be a smart move for Bruce and co to go out and sign Perez, especially if they can get him for a mere £8.5m.

Once [praised](https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/barcelona-news-lionel-messi-heaps-praise-on-carles-perez-and-ansu-fati-after-thumping-win-over-real-betis) by Lionel Messi while he was at FC Barcelona back in 2019, the Spaniard will feel as if he has a point to prove, and at just 23 years of age, still has a lot of potential.

His three goals and three assists in 31 games in total over all competitions last term ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/carles-perez/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/282810/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)) show that he can be deadly at times in front of goal, but is perhaps lacking a little consistency.

Nonetheless, £8.5m could turn out to be a steal for a position that needs filling for the Tyneside club.
