Newcastle resist Bruno interest, weigh Vlahovic and Nmecha moves
Newcastle are considering a move for FC Koln’s Said El Mala as a £43m winger option after missing out on Victor Munoz, who joined Liverpool. Bild, via Sport Witness, report the Magpies are in the mix, with a potential deal also involving brother Malek.
An opinion piece argues a quiet window may suit Newcastle, with Ross Wilson working privately on targets after departures including Kieran Trippier and Anthony Gordon. Only 20-year-old goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen has arrived so far.
Manchester City are close to sealing a deal for Elliot Anderson and are then expected to target Sandro Tonali, who Newcastle value at around £100m. Tottenham had an initial bid of about £75m rejected. Newcastle want to avoid further exits after selling Anthony Gordon.
Newcastle consider a move for Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha, who scored against Newcastle in a 1-0 Champions League win. Sky Sports cite an €85m clause, with United hoping to pay less.
Arsenal prepare a second approach for Bruno Guimaraes, but Newcastle insist he is not for sale. The Brazil midfielder, at the World Cup and with two years left, has not asked to leave.
Newcastle have made an approach for Dusan Vlahovic as they look to start their summer business, which may depend on sales.
Manchester United have discussed Lewis Hall as a left-back target, but a move is unlikely this summer due to cost and other priorities. Newcastle deny a rift with Eddie Howe and no formal bid has been made.
