Fresh from completing the arrival of their latest signing, Newcastle United are wasting no time in pressing ahead with plans to strengthen Eddie Howe’s squad even further, with talks now reportedly underway over another exciting addition.
The Magpies are determined to build a squad capable of challenging at the top end of the Premier League, and club officials have quickly turned their attention to reinforcing the midfield. Reports suggest Newcastle have already opened discussions with the representatives of a highly-rated Galatasaray star, with the deal gathering momentum behind the scenes.

Galatasaray are believed to be open to selling the Brazilian midfielder for around £25 million (€29 million) this summer, and Newcastle see the valuation as an attractive opportunity to secure one of the Turkish champions’ standout performers. While an official bid is yet to be submitted, negotiations with the player’s camp are understood to be progressing positively.
Following the excitement surrounding the arrival of Aladji Bamba, Newcastle are eager to keep the momentum going by adding another quality player before the transfer window closes. Eddie Howe is thought to view midfield as an area that could benefit from additional creativity and technical quality, making this latest target a strong fit for the club’s long-term plans.
Competition remains, with Aston Villa also showing interest and making contact with the player’s representatives. However, Newcastle are believed to be pushing hard to gain the upper hand and move the deal closer to completion before rival clubs can make their move.
Galatasaray are reportedly prepared to sanction a sale if their asking price is met, with the player attracted by the prospect of testing himself in the Premier League. The coming days are expected to be significant as Newcastle decide whether to turn the ongoing talks into a formal offer.
The player at the centre of Newcastle’s interest is Gabriel Sara, whose impressive performances for Galatasaray have made him one of the most sought-after midfielders in Turkey. If negotiations continue in a positive direction, he could become the next new face through the doors at St James’ Park following the arrival of Aladji Bamba.
