Jack Grealish (Manchester City)
Ahead of 2025/26 season
Newcastle are exploring a season-long loan for Jack Grealish, who’s been left out of Man City’s Club World Cup squad and appears to be out of favour under Pep Guardiola.
Eddie Howe is keen on the winger but won’t pursue a permanent deal due to Grealish’s high wages. Newcastle must find a salary solution to secure the move.
Arnaud Kalimuendo (Stade Rennais)
Summer 2025
Both Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle United have initiated early interest in Stade Rennais striker Arnaud Kalimuendo, according to L’Équipe. While no official bids have been submitted yet, Newcastle are reportedly prepared to make a strong offer for the 23-year-old forward.
Kalimuendo is expected to be at the centre of a busy transfer window, with Rennes bracing for offers and competition heating up between Premier League and Bundesliga suitors.
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United)
Summer 2025
Arsenal and Chelsea remain keen on Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon, valued at around £80m. Despite his contract running to 2030, Newcastle may be forced to sell a senior player to comply with PSR regulations.
Gordon’s standout season has drawn continued top-six interest, and Newcastle’s financial position makes him a viable sale.
Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United)
Summer 2025
Saudi champions Al Ittihad are prepared to pay Bruno Guimarães’ €120 million release clause to sign him from Newcastle United. Talks have already taken place with the player’s agent, Alexis Malavolta, though salary demands are expected to exceed €40–50 million annually.
Al Ittihad made Guimarães their top priority, but face competition from Al Hilal, who are also in contact with his representatives. Guimarães has five goals and nine assists this season and played a key role in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup triumph.
Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)
Summer 2025
Newcastle have joined the race for Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze, who has an €80m release clause, with Forest also interested.
Viewed internally as ideal for Howe’s system, Newcastle could test Palace’s resolve with a €70m bid; Palace may be open to a deal.
Alexander Isak (Newcastle United)
May 2025 (End of Season)
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe firmly stated that Alexander Isak is “not for sale,” emphasizing his desire to retain the club’s top talent and build a stronger squad for next season.
Howe said he’s focused on adding depth after limited transfer activity in recent windows, and that keeping Isak is key to Newcastle’s progress as they push toward a strong season finish.
Sean Longstaff (Newcastle United)
May 2025
Newly promoted Leeds and rivals Everton are set to battle for Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff, with a £10m offer expected to be enough for a summer transfer.
Longstaff has made 31 appearances for Newcastle this season, and Daniel Farke has identified him as a key reinforcement for Leeds’ Premier League return.
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
April 2025
Newcastle retain strong interest in Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, but could be deterred by a potential £60m fee despite his impressive 18 goals and 6 assists this season.
With Mbeumo under contract for two more years, Brentford boss Thomas Frank admits the club may sell “for the right price.” Newcastle plan to act once their European qualification is secured.
Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace)
April 2025
Newcastle are leading the pursuit of England international Guéhi, who is entering the final year of his Palace contract.
A £70m bid was rejected last summer, but with time running out on his deal, Palace may be more open to a sale now. Chelsea and Man City remain interested.
Kim Min-Jae (Bayern Munich)
April 2025
Newcastle are preparing a £40m bid for Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-Jae, targeting experienced players for summer reinforcement amid doubts over his future.
The Magpies could also consider Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen if talks for the South Korea international stall.
