According to The Sun, Ashley has agreed to sell the club for 350m to the cousin of Manchester City’s owner Sheikh Mansour, with a deal expected to be finalised in time for a sizeable outlay in the summer transfer window.The businessman is reportedly ready to end years of under-investment and bolster Newcastle’s squad.
