Newcastle United are gearing up for a busy summer transfer window, with several key targets identified. The club has already confirmed eight departures since the end of the 2025/26 season, including the sale of Anthony Gordon to Barcelona. Now, the Magpies are focusing on reinforcements in goal, defense, midfield, and attack.
Darwin Nunez Priority
Darwin Nunez is reportedly keen on a return to Liverpool, but Newcastle remain interested in the Uruguayan forward. Nunez could leave Al-Hilal on a free transfer due to foreign player quota issues. Despite his inconsistent spell at Anfield, several clubs are monitoring his situation.
Dusan Vlahovic Meeting
Newcastle have held talks with representatives of Dusan Vlahovic, who is a free agent after leaving Juventus. The Serbian striker is demanding €8 million per season plus bonuses, but Juventus are offering €6 million. Vlahovic's father has also spoken to Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona. However, his injury record is a concern for Newcastle.
Marco Palestra Bid
Newcastle have submitted a €40 million (£35 million) bid for Atalanta full-back Marco Palestra. Inter Milan are also interested, but Newcastle have made significant progress in negotiations. The 21-year-old Italian impressed on loan at Cagliari and is seen as a long-term replacement for Denzel Dumfries.
Jarrod Bowen Issue
Newcastle could target West Ham's Jarrod Bowen, but his high wages may be a stumbling block. The club are exploring other options to replace Anthony Gordon, including Osasuna's Victor Munoz and Real Betis' Abde Ezzalzouli.
Nick Pope Interest
Nick Pope is expected to be available for transfer this summer, with Leeds United and Ipswich Town interested. A £5 million fee has been mentioned, but Pope's distribution may not suit Ipswich's style.
Sandro Tonali Price Tag
Newcastle have set an asking price of £100 million for Sandro Tonali, with Manchester United reportedly making him a top priority. Arsenal and Manchester City are also monitoring the midfielder.
