Duff’s Newcastle future unclear amid speculation of £4m bid

DAMIEN DUFF’S Newcastle United future was shrouded in mystery last night amid unconfirmed reports an unnamed Premier League club had made a £4 million (€4.6m) bid to bring the Republic of Ireland winger back to the Premier League.

According to reports in Britain the Magpies are considering whether or not to accept the offer for the Dubliner, who they signed for £5m (€5.8m) from Chelsea in 2006.

Newcastle are resigned to losing some of their top stars following their relegation to the Championship and are looking to offload some high earners to slash their wage bill.
