Newcastle United is poised to announce a deadline day agreement following an approach for a duo valued at £27 million.
As the deadline day approaches, we present the current situation at Newcastle United as they enter the final hours of the January transfer window. On January 13, Newcastle United recalled Jamie Miley from his loan tenure at Newport County, a club in League
Two, prior to approving a permanent transfer to their North East rivals, Hartlepool United, which participates in the National League.Regarding senior departures, Isaac Hayden has completed six matches during his loan tenure at Portsmouth in the Championship, while last week, Newcastle bid a heartfelt dieu to Miguel Almiron.
The Paraguayan player, who initially transferred to St James’ Park six years ago for a club-record fee of £21 million, has rejoined Atlanta United for approximately £10 million after experiencing a decline in his standing within Howe’s squad.The 26-year-old recently joined Newcastle during the summer on a free transfer from AFC Bournemouth;
however, he has been limited to only four starts in the Premier League, with his most recent appearance occurring in November. Kelly is set to join Juventus on an initial loan agreement, which encompasses a £20 million obligation to purchase in the summer—a proposition that Manchester United deemed too advantageous to decline.
In the interim, Newcastle United has received enquiries regarding Kieran Trippier and Matt Targett from Galatasaray and Watford, respectively; however, neither player will be departing at this time.
At the age of 34, Trippier continues to be a significant contributor to the team and aspires to compete with Tino Livramento for the position of right-back for the remainder of the season.
United had been receptive to offers for Targett but Kelly’s imminent departure would leave the squad light at left-back.. In another context, third-choice custodian Odysseas Vlachodimos is poised to remain with his current club after declining an offer from the Saudi Pro League team Al Shabab. He has expressed a preference for remaining in Europe.
Georgian forward Vakhtang Salia visited Newcastle’s training facility and St. James’ Park at the commencement of January in anticipation of his official transfer from Dinamo Tbilisi, which is set to occur upon his turning 18 in August. It is highly probable that he will be loaned to a European club during the summer transfer window. In a comparable development,
Newcastle is nearing the acquisition of attacking midfielder Baran Yildiz from the Turkish second division club Genclerbirligi. It is understood that the 18-year-old has entered into a long-term contractual agreement. United have additionally acquired the services of Republic of Ireland youth player Kyle Fitzgerald from Galway United.
