Newcastle United is expected to have a successful summer.
Even though Newcastle had a difficult January transfer window due to internal FFP difficulties, things may change before the conclusion of the season.
It’s true that a significant summer reconstruction at St. James’ Park is anticipated.
The midfield is one area that most definitely needs some regeneration. While important players are being linked to departures, it is unclear how Sandro Tonali will do in his comeback after missing so much action.
Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes have both been linked to moves this summer, which may help to explain why a midfield player from the Premier League is supposedly becoming a top desire.

Amadou Onana: Premier League standout and potential move for Newcastle
Since moving from Lille to Goodison Park in 2022, Onana has faced several challenges as the team has battled relegation repeatedly.
Nevertheless, the 22-year-old has occasionally shone. He had previously impressed Alan Shearer and was called “outstanding” by commentator Darren Bent during Everton’s victory against Arsenal in February of last year.
He outperformed every player in Newcastle’s lineup with 2.5 tackles per game (per WhoScored), maybe providing greater energy in the midfield. After all, this season has shown the defensive instability in that area of Eddie Howe’s team.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Everton’s takeover prospects, it could be prudent for them to move this summer, should they want to do so.
