Newcastle United left-back Jamal Lewis is on the verge of a shock move to Brazilian giants Sao Paulo.
The 26-year-old, who joined the Magpies in 2020 for £15m from Norwich, is understood to be in Brazil finalising the move.
Whilst neither club has yet confirmed the transfer, Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill revealed that the move was on the cards.
“Jamal is planning to join us later in the week after he completes his visa requirements and medical checks in Brazil,” said O’Neill, confirming Lewis would report late for NI’s upcoming Nations League fixtures against Luxembourg and Bulgaria.
“We wish him the best of luck in his new move to Sao Paulo.”
