Newcastle want four new players — but do not need to make big sale
Big sale averted It is not widely known just how desperate the situation was at Newcastle United in January. The belief within the club is that without the sales of Miguel Almirón to Atlanta in the MLS and Lloyd Kelly to Juventus for a total of about £25million, one of the stars — an Alexander Isak, an Anthony Gordon or a Sandro Tonali — would have had to been sold this summer for below market value. The combined £72million for the sales of Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson during a frantic May last year averted a ten-point penalty and was a step in the right direction towards resolving their issues with the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR). There was still work to be done, however, to rectify a previous overspend and that meant getting an above market value for the 31-year-old Almirón and Kelly, who had been signed as a free transfer in the previous summer window. Those deals and a third transfer window without a costly signing have put Newcastle in a stronger financial place than they have been in recent seasons because of PSR. Not at the top table yet The reaction of Newcastle's senior figures in the directors' box on the final day of the season as the club squeezed into the Champions League — courtesy of Manchester United's victory over Aston Villa — told you just how important that was. There were worried faces during the 1-0 defeat at home to Everton, but laughs of absolute relief at full-time. The reaction in the box showed the financial significance, not to mention the prestige, that an aspiring club like Newcastle attribute to Champions League qualification. The financial benefits vary, but Villa picked up £45million thanks to their progress to the quarter-finals, and that was without factoring in gate receipts and commercial and marketing revenue. However, club sources are keen to stress that the added income does not mean reverting to the free-spending early days of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) ownership, when £62million went on Isak, £55million on Tonali and £45million on Gordon. Those days appear to be gone for the foreseeable future. Newcastle are trying to grow their revenue from the £320million for the 2023-24 season, which means that the process to catch the top clubs will take longer, as will being able to compete at the top end of the market. The beauty of youth Newcastle are aware they have an ageing squad and there is a desire to bring in younger players this summer. Eddie Howe admitted on Sunday that they would have to sign players with potential and bring them up to the standard that a club who have finished in the top five in two of the past three seasons require. The club are very much aware that Howe has produced wonders to win a first major domestic trophy in 70 years — the Carabao Cup — and qualify for the Champions League without any help in the transfer market for so long. That is set to change, with three or four players likely to arrive at St James' Park. Who and how Newcastle still want a right-sided central defender, a right-sided forward, a young goalkeeper and possibly an attacking midfielder. They have an interest in Liverpool's centre half Jarell Quansah, 22, the Aston Villa winger Jacob Ramsey, 24, the Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, 22, and Espanyol's Joan García, 24, as well as the Coventry goalscorer Jack Rudoni, 23. Attracting those three outfield players and one of the goalkeepers would pretty much eat up Newcastle's entire transfer budget for this window, given budget constraints are still in place. It is highly unlikely that they will sign a finished article such as Marc Guéhi, a player they still like, because there are concerns over the size of the fee, not to mention competition from the likes of big-spending Chelsea and possibly Liverpool. Newcastle have the added complication of sporting director Paul Mitchell and chief executive Darren Eales both leaving next month. The Times understands that Mitchell will act in an advisory position and work through the details of any deals. It means that Howe will be very much back playing a leading role in transfers as the club prepare to invest in their first-team squad for the first time in four windows, but the Newcastle head coach, like those at boardroom level, knows they will have to be quick and smart in the window, with the financial might of PIF kept very much in tow once again.
