Bruno Guimaraes £100m release clause twist
Newcastle United are facing a crucial summer after a largely underwhelming season so far.
The 2023-24 campaign looked so promising for The Magpies as they returned to the Champions League after a fourth-place finish in the Premier League last season. But a busy fixture schedule and numerous injury issues has taken its toll on Newcastle this season as they have exited all cup competitions and currently sit 10th in the Premier League table heading into the final 10 games.
Eddie Howe’s side still have a chance of salvaging European football for next season should they end the campaign well. A top-eight finish could be enough to secure at least Europa Conference League football for next season.
But some big decisions will have to be made on the transfer front as the club battles Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules while trying to remain competitive at the top end of the table.
