Newcastle United are getting ready for a big summer ahead. After a brilliant season where the team won the Carabao Cup and finished 5th in the Premier League, there's a real buzz around St. James’ Park.
The Magpies are heading back to the Champions League. So, Eddie Howe now wants to build a squad that can handle the challenges ahead.
Adding depth to the team is a top priority. Injuries and a packed fixture list took a toll last season.
And with striker Callum Wilson likely on his way out, Newcastle are looking for another strong option up front.
There’s also the concern that Alexander Isak might attract big offers this summer.
While Newcastle want to keep him, they know they must plan for every situation.
That’s where this latest Newcastle transfer news emerges
Newcastle United plot ambitious £100m move for Brazilian striker
Sky Sports News reports that Newcastle are lining up a huge move for Brighton forward Joao Pedro. The 23-year-old Brazilian has impressed with his energy, movement, and ability to score goals in big moments.
He’s young, talented, and already proven in the Premier League — exactly the type of player Eddie Howe likes. But he won’t come cheap. Brighton are said to want around £100 million for Pedro.
It’s a big price tag, but Newcastle now have the money and ambition to go for players like this. With Champions League football on offer and a clear plan for the future, the club hopes that Pedro will be tempted to join.
The Magpies know the competition will be tough, but they also believe the project they’re building is something special. This summer could be the one where Newcastle truly makes a statement in the transfer market.
