Newcastle United enjoyed another hugely impressive season under Eddie Howe and the English coach will hope for a busy summer to ensure they can build on their 2024/25 success.

The Mags won the Carabao Cup and secured a top-five finish, which means Champions League football next season in a boost to their transfer plans.

Financial Fair Play has meant Newcastle have not been able to splash as much cash as many expected after the Saudi PIF takeover but it would be no surprise to see them spend this summer – with Howe hinting that reaching Europe will loosen the purse strings.

There will be exits but the Tynesiders will want to keep their key men and add some exciting new talent as well.

RadioTimes.com has rounded up the latest Newcastle transfer news, rumours and confirmed deals below.

Newcastle transfer news and rumours

Updated: June 9th 2025

Newcastle have made contact with Nottingham Forest over Anthony Elanga, who Eddie Howe is a long-term admirer of.

The Mags are also interested in Brighton forward Joao Pedro but face competition from the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool this summer while the Brazilian is thought to only be keen to move to a club where he will be first choice.

Howe could have a new number one next season as Burnley's James Trafford is one of the club's top targets in the current transfer window.

The Newcastle boss is also keen on Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi and Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo but could miss out on the latter to Man Utd or Spurs.

Talks are underway over new deals for Callum Wilson and John Ruddy, whose current contracts expire this summer, while they are determined to keep Alexander Isak amid links to big clubs.

The Mags don't want to sell Tino Livramento despite growing interest from Man City.
