Eddie Howe is apparently the new coach

After the takeover of Newcastle United by a Saudi Arabian consortium (approx. 370 billion euros in assets), rumors of new (and expensive) player signings are rampant.

SPOX has collected all the rumors and presents a theoretical top 11 with which the Magpies could emerge in the coming season. The respective truth content is of course neglected at this point.

Goal – KEYLOR NAVAS (Real Madrid): At PSG, the Costa Rican had to squeeze his place as number one in the summer on EM winner Donnarumma. According to information from the Marca, Newcastle is therefore dealing with the keeper.

Defense – JAMES TARKOWSKI (Burnley FC): The central defender of Burnley FC could be signed in the coming winter. As the Telegraph learned, the Magpies are trying to get the 28-year-old.

KALIDOU KOULIBALY (SSC Napoli): According to Football Insider, the Senegalese is on the new investor’s wish list. In 2014 he moved to Naples for almost 8 million euros, today Newcastle would have to pay more than five times as much.

NIKLAS SÜLE (FC Bayern): Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez are currently ahead in central defense at FCB, and Tanguy Nianzou is also a young talent. According to Sport-Bild-Infos, Süle is one of the Newcastle candidates.

Midfield – DONNY VAN DE BEEK (Manchester United): Came to ManUnited last season as a dream player, but his time there seems to be over. It plays far too little, which is why, according to Mirror, a change is being considered.

TONI KROOS (Real Madrid): The Spanish daily El Nacional wants to know that the ex-international should be at the top of the Magpies shopping list. 30 million euros are ready to pass the table for Kross.

OUSMANE DEMBELE (FC Barcelona): The Frenchman never really made it to Barca because of many injuries. The Catalans would therefore like to get rid of him. According to information from SPOX and Goal, the offensive man Newcastle has been offered.

FLORIAN WIRTZ (Bayer Leverkusen): Just a few days ago, Newcastle scout Geoff Lockhardt was spotted in Cologne – apparently to examine the youngster. A transfer would be expensive, also because Wirtz still has a long contract.

PHILIPPE COUTINHO (FC Barcelona): Another Barca player who probably has no future at Blaugrana. With Ansu Fati and Yusuf Demir, the Catalans have young, promising players in the starting blocks. An exit is likely.

Storm – TIMO WERNER (Chelsea FC): With Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea FC signed another top striker in the summer, who slightly overtook the German. Sport Bild is therefore reporting on a possible transfer.

MAURO ICARDI (Paris Saint-Germain): According to Calciomercato, the Argentine should also be on Newcastle’s wish list. At Paris, Icardi is often only second choice behind Messi, Neymar and Mbappe.

And this is what Newcastle United’s starting XI could look like next summer.

Honorable Mentions – ERIC BAILLY (Manchester United): At least since the move from Raphael Varane to the Red Devils, only bankers. According to Mirror, therefore, an option at Newcastle to get more playing time again.

CLEMENT LENGLET (FC Barcelona): Also a central defender who is no longer the first choice for his club. After information from Spanish sports, the Magpies have already asked for the French, a transfer in winter is also in the room.

AARON RAMSEY (Juventus Turin): The Welshman is no longer a real option at Juventus, which is why there would probably be no obstacles in his way if he left. The Sun reports that Newcastle are said to have deposited an interest with Juve.

FILIP KOSTIC (Eintracht Frankfurt): According to Sport Bild, the Frankfurt left winger is also one of the candidates who could move to Newcastle. Kostic wanted to leave last summer, when Eintracht put the bolt in front of him.

JESSE LINGAARD ​​(Manchester United): With the Red Devils, the winger is often just a reservist. The Telegraph reports that he could be a possible candidate for Newcastle as early as the winter.

MESUT ÖZIL (Fenerbahce Istanbul): Özil has been under contract with Fener since the beginning of 2021. According to information from the Turkish transfer expert Ekrem Konur, the time there could be over again. The Magpies is working on a PL return.

EDEN HAZARD (Real Madrid): According to information from ESPN, the Belgian is a candidate for the PL club. Hazard is only a reservist at Real Madrid this season, so the Spaniards would like to give up the expensive offensive man.

LUIS DIAZ (FC Porto): Sport TV reports that Newcastle should be ready to invest 80 million euros in the winger. He is currently under contract with FC Porto, his working paper there will run until 2024.

ANTHONY MARTIAL (Manchester United): Belongs to the sorting out United block. In the past there have been rumors about the departure of the French, but this should always have failed due to the veto of ManUnited boss Joel Glazer.

ALEXANDRE LACAZETTE (Arsenal FC): The striker’s contract expires next summer, and it is unlikely that the Gunners will remain with the troubled athletes. Newcastle could be one last attractive project for the French.
