Newcastle, which is currently fourth in the Premier League table, is in a good position to qualify for Europe next season.
They want to finish in the top four and qualify for the UEFA Champions League, but in terms of general European qualification, they are seven points ahead of eighth-placed Brentford, with a seventh-place finish also offering Europa League and Europa Conference League football.
According to Football Insider, the St. James’ Park club is looking to raise funds in order to sign three marquee players this summer, assuming they qualify for Europe.
Ryan Fraser, Matt Ritchie, Jamaal Lascelles, and Jamaal Lewis are rumored to be on the market, with Eddie Howe looking for players under the age of 24 to play his brand of football.
The Toon Army will be thrilled to see their team continue their rebuilding this summer following their takeover in 2021.
The new owners will undoubtedly want to add to their squad while they are on top, especially if they qualify for the Champions League next season.
They have been linked with goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, midfielder Arthur Vermeeren, and striker Vitor Roque, all of whom fit the age profile, but they could also go for more established names with Premier League experience, such as West Ham United’s Declan Rice.
Nonetheless, the Magpies must continue to strengthen if they are to make significant progress in their long-term project.
