According to insiders who spoke to Football Insider, Newcastle United will be shockingly forced to sell first-team stars Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak in order to comply with FFP restrictions.
Pete O’Rourke, the transfer correspondent for Football Insider, stated that there will be a lot of interest in the Magpies’ “prized assets” come summertime in an interview with the podcast Inside Track.
Due to the club’s commitments to FFP after making large purchases during the previous few transfer windows, its January activity has been significantly impacted.
Like many other Premier League teams, Newcastle is terrified of the accusations that have recently been made against Nottingham Forest and Everton, who were docked ten points in November.
They are now driven to plan sales for their main players in order to adhere to the regulations.
PiF, who have invested considerably in rebuilding the team, reportedly paid £63 million and £40 million for Isak and Guimaraes, respectively.
They have both performed admirably for the Magpies and were essential to the team’s last-season Champions League qualification.
Since his arrival, Isak has scored 24 goals in 50 appearances across all competitions, and Newcastle would hope to get an even higher price than they did when they acquired Real Sociedad in the summer of 2022.
Although Mikel Arteta, the manager of title-chasing Arsenal, acknowledged that the team had kept an eye on the Sweden international before to his move to Tyneside, he ruled out a winter move for him.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly showing interest in Guimaraes, who has a little under £100 million release clause.
