Newcastle is reportedly in the process of negotiating the signing of a “superstar” forward to replace Eddie Howe. According to iNews, Newcastle United are making progress in their negotiations to acquire Brighton’s Joao Pedro this summer.
The Magpies are eager to enhance their forward options during the transfer window, as they have now reached the Champions League group stages for the second time in three seasons. Additionally, they have ended a 70-year trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup in 2024/25. In order to enhance his squad, Eddie Howe has designated Brazilian forward Pedro as a critical target, and negotiations are currently underway.
Newcastle’s ‘Advancing’ Move to Sign Pedro Transfer Business to ‘Ramp Up’ Next Pedro, who has been referred to as a “absolute superstar,” is anticipated to depart the AMEX Stadium this summer following a training ground altercation with defender Jan Paul Van Hecke. This incident resulted in Pedro being excluded from the Brighton roster for the final two games of the season.
The two clubs are believed to be in the process of “advancing” negotiations, and Newcastle is prepared to pay an estimated £60 million for his departure. Newcastle anticipates that transfer business will “intensify” in the upcoming week, which could enable the club to finalise a deal for the Brazilian forward.

Newcastle is also competing with Chelsea for his signature in the Premier League; however, they are optimistic that they will be able to finalise a deal before the Blues reaffirm their interest. Bryan Mbeumo, the Brentford hero, has already declined their offer, opting to join Manchester United.
