Newcastle eyeing up a summer move for €20m-rated South American
Newcastle United are eyeing up a summer move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes. The 22-year-old was linked with a move to the Premier League club back in January, and he could now be on his way out of the Portuguese club. According to Portuguese media outlet Record, the player will be available for around €20 million, although Sporting could be open to negotiating the fee. It is unclear whether the Magpies will come forward with a concrete offer for Nunes in the coming weeks. They are unlikely to be the only club interested in signing his, and they will have to move swiftly to fend off the competition. The Brazilian is highly rated in Portugal and has been tipped to become one of Europe’s top midfielders over the next few years. He is likely to improve with experience, and Newca...
Report: Newcastle want £27m player on loan as deal for Celtic star now unlikely
Newcastle United are interested in signing William Saliba on loan this summer. The Magpies are looking to bolster their defence in the summer transfer window, and they have been heavily linked with a move for Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer. However, any potential deal for the Norwegian now looks ‘unlikely’. Instead, newly promoted Premier League club, Norwich City, are now leading the chase for Ajer. As a result, the Magpies have now turned their attention towards signing Saliba on loan, according to reports from The Daily Mail. The exciting young defender joined Arsenal in 2019 for a fee of £27m but he is yet to play a competitive game for the Gunners. The 20-year-old spent the last season on loan in France with Nice, where he heavily impressed. The loan deal was a succes...
Leeds and Newcastle in the race to sign €15m-rated ace with 10 goal contributions
Leeds United and Newcastle United are interested in signing the Brest defender Romain Perraud. According to L’Equipe (via GFFN), Southampton are apparently leading the chase to sign the 23-year-old who could cost around €15 million this summer. The defender has a contract with the French outfit until the summer of 2025 and his suitors will have to pay the asking price if they want to sign him this summer. The French outfit are under no pressure to sell the 23-year-old and they can afford to demand a premium. Southampton need to sign a quality replacement for Ryan Bertrand and Perraud certainly fits the bill. Leeds could definitely use a quality left-back signing especially with Ezgjan Alioski set to leave the club when his contract expires later this summer. Meanwhile, Newcastle Unite...
Norwich City join West Ham United in race to sign 29-goal striker for £10m – report
Norwich City have joined West Ham United in the race to sign Blackburn Rovers striker Adam Armstrong this summer, The Telegraph reports. Armstrong had a fantastic individual season with Rovers, registering 29 goals and five assists from 43 appearances in all competitions. He netted 28 times in the Championship, but it came to no avail as Tony Mowbray’s side finished a disappointing 15th in the league standings. With just one year left on his contract, he has been tipped to make the step up to the top-flight, with West Ham United interested in his services. The Canaries, who secured automatic promotion from the Championship, are also interested in the 24-year-old as they bid to bolster their frontline. They consider the Newcastle United graduate as value for money for a fee of around £10 mi...
‘Good footballer’, ‘Very high ceiling’ – Some NUFC fans react after hearing 23-yr-old could join
Newcastle United are expected to complete the signing of Kristoffer Ajer from Celtic this summer. The 23-year-old Norwegian defender has been heavily linked with a move away from Parkhead in recent months. The Daily Mirror (via Chronicle) are reporting that the Magpies will sign him for a fee of around £6 million. The Celtic star has a big future ahead of him, and Newcastle manager Steve Bruce will be hoping he can help him fulfil his potential. Newcastle need defensive reinforcements this summer. Centre-back is not the only department that needs strengthening, with a right-back amongst their priorities. The reported £6 million asking price seems reasonable for a player of Ajer’s talent, and he could represent a good value signing for Newcastle. It has been a disappointing season for Celti...
Celtic reportedly want goalkeeper Gareth Southgate dubbed ‘exciting’
Celtic want to bring Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman to Parkhead this summer, according to Chronicle Live. The Hoops were interested in signing the former England youth international back in 2018 but he joined Aberdeen on loan instead. Celtic are back for Woodman’s signature again, but another club could stand in their way again, with Southampton also eyeing a move for him. The 24-year-old just ended his second season-long loan at Swansea City, suffering heartbreak in Saturday’s Championship play-offs final as Brentford secured a 2-0 win to earn Premier League promotion. The Welsh outfit are hoping to be third time lucky next season and are keen to retain the services of the Newcastle man. Woodman is not guaranteed a place in the Magpies’ or Southampton starting XI, and while r...
NUFC reportedly come up with plan to pip Hammers to £40m UCL-winning hitman
Newcastle United are keen on signing Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham temporarily this summer, according to The Northern Echo. Magpies head coach Steve Bruce will have to make do with loan signings this summer given his side’s lack of sizeable transfer funds, and is looking to reunite with the England international. The Newcastle boss brought Abraham to Aston Villa on loan in August 2018 before getting sacked less than two months later. Bruce is not the only one interested in the Chelsea striker, with West Ham United also keen on snapping him up. The Blues are asking for £40 million to sell Abraham, but the Hammers are only willing to do business for around £25 million. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea will agree to do business for that amount, but they could be forced to loan him out an...
Newcastle and West Ham interested in signing 30-goal attacker this summer
Villarreal forward Gerard Moreno has been linked with a move to Newcastle United and West Ham United. According to reports via calciomercato, Roma are keeping tabs on the Spanish attacker as well. Moreno has been in exceptional form for the Yellow Submarines this season and he has helped them win the Europa League. The 29-year-old striker has 30 goals and 11 assists to his name in all competitions this past season. The attacker scored a vital goal against Manchester United in the final of the Europa League earlier this month and the Spanish outfit lifted the trophy after a penalty shootout win.

Newcastle set to return for 22-year-old January target this summer
Newcastle United are interested in signing Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes during the summer transfer window. According to reports, the Magpies were keen on signing the midfielder during the January transfer window, but the move did not materialise. Portuguese outlet Record claims that the Premier League side submitted an offer of a loan deal with an option to buy. Newcastle are now looking to reignite their interest in the 22-year-old and are eager to secure his signature this time around. The Portuguese outfit will demand at least €20 million for the player.

Newcastle make enquiry for 21-year-old defender, two other PL clubs keen
Newcastle United have reportedly enquired about Benfica defender Nuno Tavares. According to O Jogo, the 21-year-old could be available for a fee of around €15 million. Brighton & Hove Albion and Southampton are also keen on the player. It is no secret that the Magpies will have to improve defensively during the summer transfer window, and signing a quality full-back should be a priority for them. Steve Bruce has had to rely on the likes of Paul Dummett and Matt Ritchie as his left-backs, and Tavares could be an upgrade on both players. The highly-rated youngster has a release clause of £88 million, but Benfica are willing to sell him for far less than that. The defender can also play as a wing-back and could be very useful for Newcastle from an attacking perspective. Tavares has bagged...
NUFC reportedly want ‘brilliant & extremely smart’ Liverpool centre-back available for bargain fee
Newcastle United are looking to bolster their centre-back options this summer and are eyeing a move for Liverpool centre-back Nat Phillips, according to The Sun. With Ibrahima Konate joining the Reds and Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all set to return to full fitness ahead of the new campaign, the 24-year-old would most likely spend a larger chunk of next season on the bench if he remains at Anfield going forward. Liverpool are ready to sell Phillips if they get a major offer for him this summer, and it is believed around £10 million could be enough to land him. The defender featured in 17 Premier League games and three Champions League games in 2020-21, and it appears he has managed to convince Newcastle of his quality. Burnley are also interested in snapping up the former Bol...
Steve Bruce could look to bring in a marquee signing for Newcastle this summer
Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is looking to bring in a marquee signing during the summer transfer window. According to Football Insider, Bruce could spend his entire budget on one star signing. The Magpies will then look to take advantage of the free-agent market and pull off loan deals to strengthen their squad. It will be interesting to see if Bruce can plug the gaps in Newcastle’s squad and help them push for a top-half finish next season. Newcastle will need to improve defensively and add more depth to the attacking areas. A quality winger and a striker should be a top priority for them this summer. Star players like Allan Saint-Maximin have been linked with a move away from the club and it remains to be seen whether the Magpies can convince the 24-year-old to stay beyond this s...
