Last year, Newcastle failed to make significant signings due to the lack of funds and FFP restrictions. But, the Magpies are having a wonderful season. We have also ended our trophy drought. The reason for the success of this season for the Magpies is the performance of certain players.
Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and so many others have contributed to the success of the team this season. That is why these players are attracting interest from all over Europe. Manchester City were exploring the option to sign Bruno Guimaraes. But, Newcastle were not ready to let their star player go last season.
Also, Alexander Isak is a target for both Arsenal and Liverpool. Barcelona are also looking at him as the possible successor to Robert Lewandowski. Anthony Gordon has become a target for Liverpool in case Luis Diaz decides to leave for Barcelona. And, Sean Longstaff is also linked with a move to either Everton or Manchester United.
So, Newcastle will have a busy transfer window next summer. But, if the Magpies want to create a team that will challenge for the Premier League and consistently play in the Champions League, they need to hold onto the core and bring in good players who can support the core team.
