Newcastle United are slowly building their transfer window plans, and one name has started to gather serious interest inside the club.
The Magpies are in the market for a young, attack-minded midfielder.
Eddie Howe wants someone with flair, confidence on the ball, and the energy to press high under his system.
With Champions League football returning to St James’ Park, Newcastle want players who won’t be overwhelmed by the occasion.
One of England’s rising stars is now on their radar. And not just any name; this player was voted the best footballer at the 2025 Under-21 Euros.
He even opened the scoring in the final, where England defeated Germany in a thrilling 3-2 win.
Despite his success on the international stage, he has struggled to nail down a regular starting spot at his current club.
Opportunities have been limited, and the arrival of a record-breaking signing in his position has only made things harder.
At just 22, he’s already proven he can perform at the highest level.
But now, he's looking for a club where he can grow further, get regular game time, and compete in Europe. That’s where Newcastle United step in.
Newcastle transfer news: Newcastle United learn Harvey Elliott transfer price
According to The Athletic, the Magpies are seriously considering a move. And now, they’ve learned what Liverpool will demand to let Harvey Elliott leave this summer.
The report claims a deal could be done for around £40 million with a buyback clause, or closer to £50 million if Newcastle want full control of the deal.
Elliott is under contract until 2027, but a transfer is now firmly on the table.
Whether Newcastle decide to meet that valuation remains to be seen but with the need for depth and creativity in midfield, Harvey Elliott could be the kind of smart signing we’ve been waiting for.
