Newcastle transfer news
After failing to sign the highly sought-after Marc Guehi in the summer transfer window, sporting director Mitchell has plenty of making up to do at St James’ Park in the new year. And if reports are anything to go by, he’s well aware of that, with the likes of Castello Lukeba and Marc Bernal already linked with 2025 moves to Newcastle.
Away from the transfer window and the action on the pitch, meanwhile, Newcastle have been left to turn their focus towards appointing a new CEO after Darren Eales was forced to step down due to health reasons.
With such a transition set to take place off the pitch, Mitchell must ensure that he gets the winter transfer window right, with an attacking reinforcement now reportedly eyed.
According to CaughtOffside, Mitchell is now pushing to sign Alex Baena in the January transfer window in a deal that could be worth €55m (£46m) after sending scouts to watch the La Liga star.
