Eddie Howe discloses his January aspirations, which may indicate Newcastle United’s initial acquisition of 2025.

Despite being extensively linked with a departure from the club, Martin Dubravka is expected to play a series of matches for Newcastle United.

In the absence of Nick Pope, Dubravka has been the starting goalkeeper for Newcastle in the last two matches and is anticipated to remain in the position until January.

However, reports from Saudi Arabia indicate that the Slovakian has consented to join Saudi Pro League team Al Shabab next month.At the conclusion of the current season, the 35-year-old will be out of contract and is not expected to receive a new contract at St James’ Park.

He is eager to resume playing regular first-team football, a privilege that is not guaranteed to him at Newcastle while Pope is healthy and available. Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s head coach, is determined to maintain the unity of his squad in January and avoid any player departures.

Although he did not rule out the possibility of Dubravka departing, he desires that all members of his squad concentrate on a critical sequence of matches ahead of 2025.Howe acknowledged, “There is always a possibility that [players] may depart.” ”

I never sit here and predict that no one will leave; however, it must be in accordance with the team’s needs and, once again, the long-term future of the club must be balanced and fought for.” Therefore, we are optimistic that we will not lose any individuals whom we wish to retain.

Howe added, regarding Dubravka’s prospective departure, “I would say the same for everyone that has been associated with moves; it is not something that I or the players would want to read about.”

“Every player who is contracted to us here is our player, and I want them to concentrate on performing well for us for the duration of their stay. This applies to all individuals, regardless of whether they are involved in transactions.”

We require everyone to concentrate on their current activities, as there are numerous significant contests scheduled in the future. Newcastle’s goalkeeper, Dubravka, is anticipated to commence the match against Ipswich Town at 3 p.m. on Saturday.

Next, the Magpies are scheduled to play against Aston Villa, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Bromley before Pope is anticipated to return to the team following his knee injury.
