Newcastle United have expressed regret after including an image in their latest promotional content that sparked concerns of cultural insensitivity. The issue arose from a video unveiling their new third kit, produced in collaboration with Adidas, which inadvertently featured a flag resembling a controversial historical symbol.
Newcastle United have stepped up their efforts to secure the services of Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga, lodging a substantial £55 million (€64m/$75m) offer for the 23-year-old. The bid comes after Aston Villa also joined the chase for the Swedish international, adding competition for the Magpies, in what could become one of the most fiercely contested transfer sagas of the summer.
Newcastle United's hopes of landing Italian star Giorgio Scalvini have taken a big hit, with Atalanta firmly declaring the 21-year-old as "unsellable" this summer. Despite reports of contact from the Premier League side, no negotiations are taking place as the Serie A club shut the door on a potential exit for their star centre-back.
Newcastle United have reportedly entered the race to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, joining Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea in the hunt for the prolific French striker. The 23-year-old is hot property after a breakout season with the Bundesliga campaign, but Frankfurt’s €100 million (£86.2m) price tag remains a major hurdle for potential suitors.
Newcastle United have reportedly reignited their pursuit of young French forward Hugo Ekitike, as they hope to strengthen their attacking lineup alongside Alexander Isak. The Magpies were disappointed when Joao Pedro opted for Chelsea over them this month, but remain determined to add another frontline threat during this transfer window as they gear up for Champions League football next season.
Newcastle United have officially submitted a blockbuster bid to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, launching a major move to secure the in-demand striker ahead of Premier League rivals. The Magpies are pushing hard to finalise a deal believed to be worth over €75 million (£65m), as they seek a long-term replacement for Callum Wilson and support for Alexander Isak.
Arsenal fans are fuming as Liverpool eye a £120m deal for Alexander Isak to cap off the "greatest transfer window of all time". The 25‑year‑old Sweden international is a top target as the Reds seek a new frontman to boost their attack ahead of Darwin Nunez’s expected departure this summer.
Liverpool are accelerating their efforts to sign Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak, in what could become one of the marquee deals of the 2025 summer transfer window. The Anfield outfit have formally expressed their interest in acquiring the Swedish forward, with reports confirming that a deal in the region of £120 million ($161m) has been discussed with the Magpies.
Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali signed an extension to his contract after he was banned for gambling offences, until 2029, while the Magpies also hold the power to extend his deal by another year until 2030. The midfielder signed for the club in the summer of 2023 but was banned in the October of that year, subsequently missing 10 months of football.
Jose Mourinho has aimed a veiled dig at Newcastle over the atmosphere created at St James’ Park during the clash with Benfica, which the Magpies won 3-0. The Geordie faithful pride themselves on the hostile reception they generate for away players and fans, with a raucous atmosphere regularly created in the ground, and they will not take kindly to hearing the Special One’s negative comments.
Liverpool have entered the fray to sign Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt, potentially disrupting Newcastle United's long-standing pursuit of the 22-year-old striker having made their interest known in the Magpies' Alexander Isak. The Merseyside giants have initiated contact with the Bundesliga club, seeking to open negotiations.
Newcastle United have turned their attention to Brentford striker Yoane Wissa after ending their pursuit of Hugo Ekitike, with a deal for the DR Congo international now firmly in their sights. While talks with Brentford are yet to begin, the Magpies are expected to make a move soon and the potential transfer could also have a knock-on effect on Manchester United’s plans this summer.
Anthony Elanga, Newcastle United's new £55 million ($74m) recruit from Nottingham Forest, has expressed his admiration for international team-mate Alexander Isak, labelling the striker among the world’s elite. However, Elanga also made it clear that speculation surrounding Isak’s future at St James Park is part and parcel of being a top player, referring to the transfer chatter as little more than “noise.”
Liverpool’s hopes of signing Alexander Isak have reportedly been dashed after Newcastle’s Saudi ownership stepped in to block any potential sale — even if the striker pushes for a move. The Reds were prepared to table a British-record £130 million ($175m) offer, but the Magpies have made it clear the Swedish star is not for sale at any price this summer.
