Newcastle United’s summer transfer activity will once again be governed by Premier League Profitability & Sustainability Rules (PSR).
The 2023-24 season is nearing its end, which means the summer transfer window is right around the corner. But what is installed for the Magpies is not entirely obvious.
“It’s difficult for me to give absolute clarity on what’s going to happen and what’s not going to happen because I don’t know,” United manager Eddie Howe said last week. But Financial Fair Play is still, and will be this summer, something we must be wary of.
Howe is hoping there is room to bring in new recruits who can help take his side to the next level and allow them to compete on four fronts next season, with European qualification seeming increasingly likely given recent performances.
Last Monday, Newcastle completed a permanent deal for Lewis Hall worth an initial £28 million.
Hall came on a season-long loan from Chelsea at the start of the season, with an option to buy provided certain performance-related conditions were met. The criteria did not include Hall’s individual performance, but rather whether Newcastle finished 15th or higher in the Premier League. And that was mathematically achieved after last weekend’s 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, which meant United could not finish worse than 14th.
The 20-year-old left-back will officially be Newcastle’s first summer acquisition. And some players will most certainly have to go in order to make room for newcomers.
Before we go into selling players, there are currently six players who will depart St James’ Park at the conclusion of their contracts this summer. In addition, numerous are out of contract in 2025.
