Football. ua discusses what the composition of the English club may be after the arrival of new owners.
Since the announcement of the sale of Newcastle to the Saudi Arabian Sovereign wealth Fund, around the team " New potential transfer targets of the Forty are reported daily by the media around the world.
Let's try to imagine what a team from the northeast coast of England might look like if at least half of them come true..
Goalkeeper A relatively fresh rumor - on November 6, El Nacional informed the world about the readiness of Newcastle bosses to shell out about 55 million euros for Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Given the permanent place at the base of the Catalan club, and also a new head coach comes, it is not known how Newcastle can lure the German gate guard to itself, except for a large number of zeros in the contract. Nevertheless, given the unlimited financial possibilities of the new owners, we will not sweep aside such a career development option for ter Stegen..
Wolverhampton captain Conor Cody, whose interest was reported by Sky in October, as well as Chalet-Tsar from Marseille, for which, according to Calciomercato, the Magpies can pay about 15 million euros.
It was also reported about the interest of the Howe team in Wesley Fofan, however, due to the severe injury of the Frenchman, it is unlikely that the Arabian owners will invest in a footballer who will clearly not return to the field soon.
Midfield The choice of players here is quite wide, because any novice owner of a football club wants a bright and scored football from his team. Let's choose the "
French and Catalan Barcelona winger Usmane Dembele may end his suffering in the Catalan capital and leave for England. At least this information is available from Foot Mercato.. The footballer was offered 15 million salaries and the same amount as a bonus if Usman agrees to move to the Newcastle camp.
The second flank midfielder in our “dream team” will be another “Catalan” - Philippe Coutinho. Barcelona does not hide its dissatisfaction with the performances of the expensive Brazilian, and after Philippe's refusal to substitute in the match with Celta, fate itself favors the Brazilian to return to England, where he really shone with Liverpool.
The center of midfield is left to the mercy of Toni Kroos, for which Newcastle is ready to shell out 30 million euros. The German has been playing in La Liga for 7 years, and maybe he should try his hand at the most popular world championship?
Leverkusen's young talent Florian Wirtz will pair Kroos in the center of midfield with his mature football this season with Bayer.. The 18-year-old has made 6 + 6 in 11 matches in a pharmacist jersey this season. According to Bild, Newcastle can pay about 100 million euros for the player, which will not be a problem for the new owners of the club..
The attack Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been on the radar of TOP clubs for several years. The England footballer shows stable and efficient football, so he could not help but attract the attention of Newcastle. Transfermarkt estimates the Englishman at only 45 million euros, which should not be an obstacle for people with such financial capabilities..
The second striker of Newcastle may be the Argentine striker PSG Mauro Icardi, who can not improve his personal life.. Juventus will compete in the fight for the ex-football player of Inter “magpies”, however, according to Calciomercato - the British have more chances of success, after all, Inter and Juventus are principal rivals, and the memory of fans, as well as of football players, is not so short.
Chelsea striker Timo Werner may become the central figure in the attacking trio of Newcastle. The footballer is "
Bench Eddie Howe's team has yet to acquire rumors about goalkeepers other than Ter Stegen, but the rest of the positions seem to be quite solid, even if half of the names that are called in the press turn out to be true.
Newcastle is considering Nathaniel Phillips from Liverpool to strengthen the defense and, if necessary, replace the injured footballer, and this interest is reported by the rather authoritative publication The Telegraph.
In addition, according to the same source, the " There are doubts that the “Burgundy” will want to part with their footballer, but there is no doubt that the bosses of Newcastle have the right amount as an argument.
In addition, Eddie Howe will be able to strengthen his already fantastic lineup by replacing Renato Sanchez, whose interest is reported by Calciomercato.
An alternative option is our Alexander Zinchenko, for whom his native position is just the same in the center of midfield. Ukrainian can move to Newcastle in winter on lease.
As for strengthening the attacking line, there are two candidates here that would not be refused by any European near-thawed club..
Brazilian forward Gabigol intends to try his hand at Europe again - according to 90min, Arsenal will compete with Newcastle, but it is hard to believe that the Gunners will be able to withstand it. Perhaps the unsuccessful voyage to Inter was just a trial?
In addition, Newcastle intends to clash with Catalan Barcelona in the fight for Arthur Cabral from Basel, who in 26 matches this season managed to issue 25 + 8 on the " Given the financial position of Blaugranas, Eddie Howe can seriously count on such an increase in the composition..
Coach Here, thank God, the rumors have reached their conclusion - Newcastle signed a contract with Eddie Howe, making a deal until the summer of 2024. Let's see if the ex-mentor of Bournemouth can save his new club from relegation. We doubt that any of the above players will wish to try their hand at the Championship.
Conclusion When so many rumors soar around the team, it is not good, at least it affects the morale of the current players of the team.. Who wants to give all the best for the team, knowing that soon they will replace you for incompetence? I would like to believe that the new owners of Newcastle will not mindlessly waste money, but will not just build a super club, but will also invest in a club academy to grow their own superstars..
