Exciting transfer message from Newcastle as club insider speaks to the media..
This summer’s transfer window will be broken into a few sections, increasing Newcastle’s need to have their ducks in line if we wish to strike early.
The first window comes between the 1st and 10th June, followed by a pause for the Club World Cup, with the window then reopening on 16th June; kicking off a potential chaotic fortnight for sides looking to avoid any PSR breaches.
After June, clubs will then have a clear run across July and August before the summer window shuts on Monday 1st September at 7pm.
A busy few months await, and it sounds like Newcastle United are in a strong position to strike.
Club insider issues exciting message
Earlier today, The Telegraph revealed that Newcastle are ready to step up their interest in top targets Bryan Mbeumo and Marc Guehi, with the same piece included an exciting message from a ‘well-placed source’ at the club.
A unnamed club insider has informed the Telegraph that ‘shortlists have been drawn up’, top targets identified and a budget set, also issuing this message that was relayed in Luke Edwards’ piece:
“Everything is in place, all the work that has been done on players has been finished and now we have to push the button and get those deals done. We know who we want”, revealed the club source.
They also insisted that Newcastle’s summer plans are “good-to-go”, stating that a “business as usual” stance remains despite news of Paul Mitchell’s imminent departure after months of transfer meetings.
Mbeumo and Guehi would mark perfect start
It won’t be easy, but moves for Mbeumo and Guehi could mark an incredible start to the summer should we pull it off.
It feels like the club want to act quickly and decisively from a position of strength, with our PSR position much improved and the offer of Champions League football also making us an even more attractive proposition.
Hopefully Palace agree to a compromise now Guehi is approaching the final 12 months of his deal. If not, I’m sure the club will look to avoid another public bidding saga and pursue other targets, but he would be a smart signing given his age (24), Premier League experience, ability to play in both centre-bac roles and leadership.
Mbeumo is wanted by Man Utd, but it’s thought the Red Devils’ attention is currently on a £62.5m move for Matheus Cunha. Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked with the Brentford winger, but would he receive regular starts at those clubs when Mo Salah and Bukayo Saka are nailed on starters?
Strike early for the Cameroonian and we may just have one of the most feared front threes in England heading into 2025/26.
Newcastle set to launch major moves for Bryan Mbeumo and Marc Guehi – Report.
It looks like Newcastle United plan to waste no time in the early stages of a crucial summer transfer window on Tyneside.
Paul Mitchell may be departing, but that won’t stop Eddie Howe’s push for new signings as we plan to bring in at least four major signings.
Two priority positions identified are a right winger and centre-back, and it seems the club have top targets in mind already.
Mbeumo and Guehi moved planned
According to The Telegraph, Newcastle look set to step up their attempts to sign both Bryan Mbeumo and Marc Guehi.
North East reporter Luke Edwards reveals that both have been identified as leading targets and Newcastle are ‘good to go’, having decided on our available budget after qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.
The club are keen to strike early this summer and it seems that bids for both are imminent.
Starting with Mbeumo, the Brentford winger is a long term target and it’s believed a fee in the region of £50-60m could be enough, with Newcastle hoping to capitalise on the fact Man Utd – a rival bidder linked this week – are focusing their attentions on wrapping up a deal for Wolves’ Matheus Cunha.
As for Guehi, The Telegraph report that Howe is eager to see the centre-back become our first summer signing, with Newcastle keen to strike a compromise with Crystal Palace after refusing to pay their £65m price tag last summer.
The 24-year-old is now out of contract next summer, which should lower his price tag, but a deal won’t be simple now the Eagles’ FA Cup win has seen them qualify for the Europa League next season.
Mitchell wants to sign off in style
The good news is that it’s very much ‘business as usual’ at Newcastle, reports Edwards, suggesting the club have not been destabilised by news of Paul Mitchell’s departure next month.
In fact, The Telegraph report that Mitchell is determined to sign off with a major arrival in the coming weeks, having failed to bring in a first team addition of real significance last summer.
Guehi or Mbeumo would be a superb start to a huge summer, with both almost ideal candidates to fill two positions we’ve been attempting to strength for several windows now.
