- Jan 15
- 2 min read
With just over two weeks to go to the end of the January transfer window the rumours of in's and out's at Newcastle are appearing across the media.
As always, the key word is rumours.
Jurgen Klopp wants Bruno Guimaraes at Real Madrid
With Real Madrid without a manager after Xabi Alonso's departure the rumour is that Jurgen Klopp is being targeted as the new manager - and he wants Bruno signed.
Joe Willock looking to move in January
With 18 month's left on his contract and no longer a first team choice at Newcastle, the rumour is Joe Willock wants to move on in January.
Leeds United and Crystal Palace are supposedly interested.
Reported interest in Jamaal Lascelles
Two clubs are rumoured to have made enquiries for Newcastle's club captain who is currently still recovering from an injury
Some fringe players already gone
The Evening Chronicle are reporting that 'Newcastle United are continuing to clear the decks this transfer window with a number of fringe players heading for the exit door as Eddie Howe and Ross Wilson get ruthless over the squad.'
'With Ben Parkinson, Harrison Ashby and Joe White having already departed, another trio could be set to leave before the end of the window - former skipper Jamaal Lascelles, U21s captain Cathal Heffernan and midfielder Alfie Harrison.'
Centre back the priority signing
With Fabian Schar out for three months, Dan Burn and Emile Krafth still not ready to return, Sven Botman just back from injury, and Tino Livrament out until March - Newcastle's priority in the transfer window is likely to be at centre back.
The competition and wages for Marc Guehi means that Newcastle will no longer follow up their previous interest.
Eddie Howe has stated that any incoming transfers will be dictated by a full assessment of the injury situation and the restrictions of PSR .
Other Transfer Rumours
The Evening Chronicle are reporting that Newcastle are eyeing Brazilian midfield star Allan.
The 21-year-old has an £86m release clause in his contract and his club - the former team of Newcastle icon Mirandinha - have batted away a £30m offer from Napoli this week. The Brazilian side feel that their best chance of picking up maximum value for Allan will be after the World Cup when he is expected to star for his country.
Bournemouth are aware they could face a fight to hang on to English midfielder Alex Scott, 22, this year amid interest from Premier League clubs Manchester United, Manchester City, Aston Villa and Newcastle United. (Teamtalk)
Who would you like to see leave Newcastle - and which players do you think we should target?
Last Post Newcastle v Manchester City Review
Whether we like it or not i think Eddie and Ross Wilson have assessed our injury situation and likely return dates compared it to what is out there right now against the back drop of 30 June PSR deadline and decided that the smart move with what funds we have is not to buy
We can spend either before 30 June when prices will be lower and right players more available if there is wriggle room or from 1 July otherwise
I think decision is a calculated one in club's best longterm interests

Suppose we can look forward to a full reset in the summer, it’ll be here sooner than you think. Never a dull moment with the toon mind. 🙃
There will be no players coming into this club in January, the manager has just about told us this on more than one occasion.
We are struggling to integrate 4 of our new signings into the team successfully, although there are signs of improvement. Adding more players into the mix at this stage would be counter productive in my view, never mind the fact it’s the worst time of the year to get any value in the market.
Unless we sell a Willock then I think we run with what we’ve got.
Keep our powder dry for the summer.
