Newcastle transfer targets summer 2024: Guehi deal off

In this article, we take you through the reported Newcastle transfer targets for this summer, as Eddie Howe's side aim to get back into European football after being pipped by Manchester United as they won the FA Cup final.

The Magpies finished in a respectable seventh place in the Premier League table, which would normally secure a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League. But United's win gave them a Europa League spot, and moved Chelsea down to the Conference League instead.

Nonetheless, we expected Newcastle to spend big again under their mega-rich Saudi owners this summer, but time is running out on Transfer Deadline Day if they want to make any late moves on their reported targets.

Newcastle transfer targets summer 2024: Latest rumours

Hot rumours

Newcastle have reportedly had a fourth bid rejected by Crystal Palace worth £65m for England international centre-back Marc Guehi, with the Eagles demanding more for his signature, and now it looks like that potential deal is off.

Raphinha – Barcelona

Reports in Spain are claiming that Raphinha is a player that Newcastle like, and even have an agreement with the Barcelona winger to join them this summer. They add that the Magpies would be willing to pay around €60m (£50m) for his services, the same amount that Barca paid Leeds United to sign him.

However, Raphinha does not want to leave the Camp Nou, so any transfer to St. James' Park looks to be difficult. Newcastle may be looking for a new winger with reports that Liverpool are interested in signing Anthony Gordon.

James Trafford – Burnley

According to The Northern Echo, Manchester City's sell-on clause is complicating a Newcastle move for James Trafford. Burnley are looking for around £20m to sell the English goalkeeper, with the Magpies having a £16m bid rejected.

Ousmane Diomande – Sporting

Portuguese news outlet Record has reported that Newcastle target Ousmane Diomande has changed his agent in an attempt to try and force a move away from Sporting CP this summer. The Portuguese champions are looking for a transfer fee of around £51m to let him go.

Andreas Christensen – Barcelona

According to Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo, Newcastle are keen on signing Andreas Christensen this summer. The Magpies were looking at him in the January transfer window, and could look to reignite their interest in the FC Barcelona central defender.

Santiago Hezze – Olympiacos

Greek football journalist Giannis Chorianopoulos has claimed that Newcastle are set to make a substantial offer to Olympiacos to sign Argentine central midfielder Santiago Hezze. He is highly thought of after winning the UEFA Europa Conference League in his debut season with the side.

Morgan Gibbs-White – Nottingham Forest

Speaking to GiveMeSport, transfer expert Dean Jones has claimed that Newcastle are the best-placed team to sign Morgan Gibbs-White this summer. The Nottingham Forest attacking midfielder has also been linked with a potential move to Tottenham Hotspur.

Noni Madueke – Chelsea

According to the Daily Mirror, the Magpies are also interested in a loan deal for Chelsea winger Noni Madueke.

Jonathan David – Lille

According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle have held talks over the potential signing of LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David. West Ham United are also interested in signing him, although the Magpies have spoken to his agents.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin – Everton

According to various reports, Newcastle are interested in signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer. It is believed that Calvert-Lewin is valued up to £40m, although other reports have claimed that the Magpies have since pulled out of a potential move.

Nonetheless, it is unclear as to whether they will look to revisit any potential deal later on in the window.
