Newcastle United have kicked off their summer transfer activity, demonstrating clear intent to build a competitive squad under Eddie Howe.
Their first move came with the acquisition of Spanish winger Antonio Cordero, who joined on a free transfer from Malaga.
Recent reports also indicate that Newcastle have reached an agreement with Nottingham Forest to bring in winger Anthony Elanga.
With a focus on strengthening the attack, Howe’s early signings show his determination to reinforce key areas ahead of the new season.
Newcastle Aiming for a Strong Summer Window
After securing a spot in the Champions League, the club is prepared to make significant investments to bolster their squad.
One of their major targets is Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. According to GiveMeSport, Newcastle are optimistic they can edge out Liverpool in the pursuit of the England international.
Although signing Guehi will be challenging—especially since Liverpool is believed to be his preferred destination—Newcastle remain persistent in their efforts.
Marc Guehi Remains the Top Defensive Target
Newcastle have admired Guehi for some time and attempted to sign him during last summer’s window.
This year, with the defender entering the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park, the Magpies hope to secure a cut-price deal.
Guehi has attracted attention from top clubs after a standout 2024/25 campaign, which included a pivotal role in Crystal Palace’s FA Cup triumph over Manchester City.
Should their pursuit of Guehi fall through, Newcastle have identified Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini as an alternative option, though Guehi remains their top priority.
