Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign Mariano Diaz from Real Madrid. The 28-year-old is unwanted at the Spanish club, and they are looking to raise funds through the sales of their fringe players. Newcastle need attacking reinforcements this summer, and Mariano could be a useful addition to their squad. According to Jeunes Footeux, the Magpies are keeping tabs on the player, but he is not a priority target for them. The Real Madrid attacker has scored just six goals in his last three seasons and has struggled for regular game time. He enjoyed a prolific year with Lyon before joining Madrid and clearly has the ability to be a regular goalscorer if given the chance. Mariano needs to join a club where he can play first-team football, and a move to St James’ Park seems ide...
Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey has been linked with a return to the Premier League in recent months. According to Goal.com, Newcastle have now asked about the 67-cap Welsh international and are keen on bringing him back to England. The discussions between the two clubs have been informal, and they are yet to engage in transfer talks. The 30-year-old has a contract with the Italian club until 2023, but he is not a key player for them and a return to the Premier League could be ideal. Ramsey played just 22 league games for the Turin giants this past season. His move to Juventus has not worked out as expected, with Ramsey struggling to showcase his peak form in Italian football. Newcastle need more depth and quality in central midfield and Ramsey would be a superb addition to the squad. Ste...
Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce is set to be handed a new three-year contract at the club. According to Daily Star, Newcastle owner Mike Ashley wants to reward Bruce with a new contract for keeping the club in the Premier League last season. Bruce has been an unpopular figure at St James’s Park since his appointment, with the fans calling for his dismissal for a while now. The 60-year-old’s current deal expires in 2022, but he has the backing of the club hierarchy. Newcastle have not progressed under Bruce, with their 12th place finish last season masking a largely underwhelming campaign. They flirted with relegation for most of the season but eventually scrambled away from the danger zone. A club of their stature should be looking to finish in the top half every year, and their curre...
West Ham United are interested in signing Lille defender Sven Botman. According to Sky Sports, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City also admire the player. The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting defensive talents around Europe after helping Lille win the Ligue 1 title last season. He is open to moving to the Premier League and would be an excellent signing for several of his suitors, particularly West Ham. They need to bring in quality reinforcements, with the team set to embark on a Europa League campaign this season. They cannot hope to succeed in that competition without a strong defensive unit, and Botman looks to be an ideal fit. If the Hammers can sign him for a reasonable price this summer, Botman could prove to be an exceptional a...
Newcastle United are now in pole position to sign the Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe. The 23-year-old is expected to leave Old Trafford after the arrival of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid and the Chronicle are reporting that the player is delighted with the interest from the Magpies. Tuanzebe needs to play regular first-team football in order to fulfil his potential and a move to St James’ Park could provide him with the platform he needs right now. The defender made just 9 appearances in the Premier League last season. The player has worked with Steve Bruce in the past and he will be hoping to hold down a regular starting berth under his management. Newcastle will be hoping to improve on their performances from last season and they will have to tighten up at the back in order t...
Newcastle United continue to be linked with a move for Swedish midfielder Jens Cajuste. According to Expressen.se, Newcastle and Leeds United are prepared to bid for the 21-year-old. Cajuste had an impressive season with Midtjylland last year and received a call-up to the Sweden squad for the European Championships. The midfielder is highly rated by the Danish club, and they value him at around £12 million. Newcastle have Isaac Hayden as their main defensive midfielder and need to add more depth to the position. It is a similar story for Leeds, with Kalvin Phillips the undisputed number one in that role for the Yorkshire club. Marcelo Bielsa tried to use Robin Koch as a defensive midfielder last season, but he failed to replace Phillips properly and weakened Leeds defensivel...
Newcastle United and Brentford are thought to be interested in signing the FC Midtjylland midfielder Jens Cajuste. The 21-year-old defensive midfielder is a target for French outfit Rennes as well but the Ligue 1 side will have to raise funds through sales before signing the player. Le dossier Jens Cajuste est à l’arrêt pour l’instant avec le Stade Rennais. Le club français, qui a pour priorité le recrutement d’un N.6 actuellement, doit vendre avant de pouvoir augmenter son offre. Pendant ce temps-là, Newcastle et Brentford souhaitent aussi avancer #Mercato — Loïc Tanzi (@Tanziloic) July 19, 2021 The highly talented defensive midfielder could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for the Magpies. Midfielder Isaac Hayden has been linked with a move away from Newcastl...
Newcastle United have been linked with summer moves for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Axel Tuanzebe. According to The Athletic, Carter-Vickers has been recommended by Newcastle’s first-team coach Graeme Jones. Steve Bruce could sign the defender on loan for next season, and it could be the ideal move for all parties. Carter-Vickers has failed to hold down a regular starting berth with Spurs and needs a move away to play more often. A loan spell at Newcastle could help him continue his development with regular first-team action. Meanwhile, Bruce worked with Tuanzebe during their time together at Aston Villa, and he is monitoring his situation. The Manchester United defender also needs to play regularly after struggling to make the breakthrough at Old Trafford. Newcastle will have a limited tra...
Newcastle United are keen on signing Joe Willock on a loan deal. According to the Telegraph, the Magpies believe that they are close to finalizing the transfer for the 21-year-old midfielder. The Arsenal midfielder was on loan at St James’ Park last season and he was outstanding for the Magpies. The 21-year-old scored eight goals in just 14 appearances before returning to his parent club and it is no surprise that Newcastle are looking to bring him back once again. The report from Telegraph adds that the player wants to return to Newcastle next season and he has an excellent relationship with head coach Steve Bruce. The youngster will need regular first-team football in order to continue his development and he is unlikely to get the opportunity at Arsenal. A move back to Newcastle on loan ...
Newcastle United are hoping to sign Joe Willock this summer and they have already opened talks with Arsenal regarding another loan deal. The 21-year-old midfielder was on loan at St James’ Park last season and he was outstanding for the Magpies. The young midfielder managed to score in seven consecutive Premier League games towards the end of the season and it is no surprise that Newcastle are looking to bring him back. Steve Bruce needs to add more quality and depth to his midfield and Willock could be a key player for his side next year. The 21-year-old is unlikely to play regular first-team football with Arsenal and a loan spell could be ideal for all parties involved. According to the Times, Mikel Arteta is yet to make a concrete decision regarding the future of the midfielder and conv...
Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Austrian winger Valentino Lazaro. The former Inter Milan player was on loan at St James’ Park during the second half of the 2019/20 season and could return to the Premier League club next season. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the player is currently negotiating his return to Newcastle, and it could be a permanent transfer this time around. Newcastle could definitely use more depth in their attack, and Lazaro could prove to be a useful addition if he can regain his form and confidence. The Austrian was highly rated when Inter signed him in 2019, but his development has stalled since then, and he will need regular first-team football to recapture this form. He was on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach last season but scored just twice in 2...
Newcastle United and Celtic are keen on signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers. According to Football Insider, the 23-year-old is set to leave the London club after failing to hold down a first-team berth over the last few seasons. Tottenham have reportedly triggered a 12-month extension in the defender’s contract and are now preparing to sell him for around £5 million in the coming weeks. Careter-Vickers spent last season on loan with Bournemouth in the Championship, and he has admitted that he is open to returning to the south coast. However, Newcastle could be a more viable option, and Carter-Vickers would undoubtedly be a quality squad player for the Magpies. He can play as a centre-back and at full-back, and his versatility would be useful for Steve Bruce next seaso...
