Newcastle United to Offload Players Following £73M Windfall and Premier League PSR Shock

Callum Wilson has one year left on his contract at Newcastle and is understood to be open to a new opportunity. Eddie Howe wants to keep hold of the striker and there has been little interest so far this summer despite enquiries from AC Milan and Atletico Madrid in January.

Bruno Guimaraes has a £100million release clause in his contract that is active until the end of the month which, if triggered, would solve any PSR issues facing the club. However, Newcastle do not wish to lose the Brazilian this summer. Ryan Fraser is set to leave the club this summer having agreed terms with Southampton following a loan spell and promotion back to the Premier League. While Newcastle will welcome getting the 30-year-old off the wage bill, any transfer fee is likely to be nominal.

The club are also looking to negotiate a release for Isaac Hayden from his contract which still has two years left to run.

As a result, the answer to Newcastle’s PSR problems could lie in a player who hasn’t even played for the club – Yankuba Minteh.

The 19-year-old joined Newcastle for under £7million last summer and enjoyed a successful 2023-24 season on loan at Feyenoord. The spell at the Dutch club has seen the teenager’s value rise significantly and he has attracted plenty of transfer interest already this summer.

Although Howe is keen to take a closer look at the youngster, Newcastle would consider any sizeable transfer offers for the player this month. A £40million price tag has been attached to Minteh this summer with the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool already credited with an interest in the winger.
