We indeed activated a 12 month contract extension with Rondon, if Newcastle want him they have an option to buy. We can still sell to the the highest bidder. Can't see him coming back to us tbh. Few issues, if he returns and we're still in the CL he will face a £35K/wk drop in salary. So he will want to stay in the PL and/or retain his current income.
As for Gayle, again it's his salary that's a sticking point? Newcastle have been paying 50% of his salary, which if we buy him we would have to pay and this would not sit well with our flex down wages policy? if we are still in the CL?
I think any new manager should take it as read, we won't have either player next season.
