While one pundit initially suggested a fee above 50 million, that starting point was quickly raised.Way higher, I think. Way higher, the panel responded. Its just because look at the market and the way its been set. I just think it would probably be 70 million-plus for Newcastle to sell."I think it would be 70m plus for Newcastle to sell" How much could Lewis Hall cost Manchester United if they went in for him? pic.twitter.com/pYs0O5dSTE Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) August 4, 2026The discussion continued by arguing Halls value extends well beyond his age and current reputation, which are already two strong reasons for Newcastle to retain the defender.Lewis Hall is not 50 million. 50 million would be a bargain for him at this point, I think, with all the things you said and with the market set the way it is, the panel said.The latest comments come after a string of reports linking Hall with Manchester United. Earlier this week, The i Paper reported Newcastle consider the England international unequivocally not for sale and internally view him as untouchable under new head coach Matthias Jaissle. Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed Manchester United have internally approved Hall as a target, although he has consistently stressed Newcastle have no intention of selling the 21-year-old.Hall remains under contract until 2029, placing Newcastle in a strong negotiating position. The former Chelsea academy graduate has developed into one of the Premier Leagues most promising young full-backs since completing his permanent move to St. James Park in 2024 for around 28 million, with his ability to play both at left-back and in midfield only increasing his value up to his current 34 million market value.Even after the departures of Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, and Bruno Guimaraes, Newcastle appears determined not to sanction another major sale involving one of its young cornerstones.If Manchester United really did offer 70 million or more for Lewis Hall, would you still keep him, or is there a price Newcastle simply cant refuse?
