American Wants To Buy Newcastle United Over

An American investor Joseph DaGrosa has made his interest to buy over Newcastle United known but not certain if the club owner Mikel Ashley will agree to his takeover bid.

Ashley has for a while now tried to sell the club to any interested bidder and the American is not a new investor in football as he owns French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.

"I can certainly confirm interest. I will confirm that I've had conversations with Mike Ashley's top representative," Ashley told NBC. "I would describe those conversations as very positive."

Newcastle just appointed Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager after Marco Silva was sacked for the team poor performance and was replaced with Duncqn Ferguson on interim terms.

"We're still talking. I'm not sure we're going to reach an agreement, but that's certainly not because of either side's intractability or unwillingness to mo e forward."
