FC Twente manager Steve McClaren has warned Newcastle they will have to pay "stupid money" in order to sign Luuk de Jong.

The Magpies have long been linked with a move for the highly-rated Dutchman.

Newcastle have reportedly had an initial £8million bid for De Jong rejected.

McClaren told Dutch media: "Luuk de Jong would stay if it were up to me - unless stupid money is offered.

"The club know what I think about it."

Twente are reportedly looking for around £12.5million for De Jong.
