JUST IN: Newcastle Launch Surprise Move for ‘World-Class’ Star as Transfer Talks Officially Begin!

Newcastle have opened talks to secure a new signing during the summer transfer window as they aim to strengthen Eddie Howe’s squad.

It has already been a difficult transfer window for the Magpies after losing both Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon to Tottenham and Barcelona, respectively.

Bruno Guimaraes could also be heading for the exit door, with Arsenal prepared to formally open talks to secure his signature.

The Brazilian midfielder wants to make the move to the Emirates Stadium, which could mean Newcastle lose three of their best players this summer.

It is now imperative that Newcastle bring in adequate replacements, and they appear to be working on multiple deals simultaneously this summer.

Newcastle open transfer talks

According to a report from the Chronicle, Newcastle have opened talks to sign Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki during the summer transfer window.

The Magpies have held talks with the player’s representatives over a possible move. He is expected to leave the Italian club, with a price tag of around £17 million being mooted.

Aston Villa, Leeds United and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested and have held talks with his representatives. Newcastle are simply the latest club to register their interest.

It has been a difficult transfer window for Newcastle so far, and they now need to start getting deals over the line quickly.

Signing a goalkeeper might not be an immediate priority after bringing in Ewen Jaouen, as the club must also strengthen other key areas of the squad.

Newcastle need midfield additions

Newcastle desperately need to bring in a central midfielder in the coming weeks, especially with talk of Guimaraes wanting to leave.

The Magpies appear firm in their stance that the Brazilian midfielder will not be leaving, but they said the same about Alexander Isak last summer.

Tonali has already left the club, leaving Newcastle short of options in the middle of the park. They now need to step up their pursuit of a new midfielder.

Newcastle are in pole position to sign Swiss midfielder Johan Manzambi, who starred at the World Cup. However, until he is pictured holding the Newcastle shirt, supporters are likely to remain cautious.
