Ok. Tuttosports started this rumour off, not me! Do not blame me for anything. I am just telling you what I know. Personally I do not believe it, but you can make your own mind up - Newcastle to offer a straight cash sum for Vieri? Right. Read this slowly. You will not beleive this, but after all, it is a rumour. If it is true, Newcastle must be crazy!
24 hours after being reported to UEFA for racist remarks, Inter Milan's Christian Vieri has been linked to a summer move to St James' Park.
Tuttosport revealed how Newcastle, Manchester United and Arsenal are all preparing major bids for the prolific striker at the end of the season.
The report said that Newcastle United are willing to offer cash for Vieri. I don't know why we would want to do that after Tuesday night. I bet most of The Magpies' fans will not want him!
This is the best bit though! Manchester United would be willing to include either Ryan Giggs or David Beckham in a part-exchange deal!
Arsenal are apparently also interested in a similar deal, offering Freddie Ljungberg or Ashley Cole.
This is a RUMOUR and I did not start it! It is on other websites. Tuttosport released the initial statement.
