Newcastle United could receive late Saudi offer with clubs still in discussion over move

Newcastle United’s final few days of the transfer window did not go to plan and it seems their summer business is not yet over.

The Tyneside club suffered a miserable end to the summer window🌞 after missing out on their top targets.

Newcastle United walked 🍨away from a deal for Marc Guehi on deadꦓline day after having several bids rejected by Crystal Palace over the summer.

The Magpies then set their sights on bringing a new winger to the club and offered £50m to sign Anthony Elanga just hours before the deadline. However, that offer was 𓂃also rejected by Nottingham Forest.

Newcastle United have now ended their summer window with only five new arrivals – the most expensive being the £30m deal for Lewis Hall which was already agreed last season.

N💖ewcastle ended 𝓀up making a £22m profit from the window, and a late offer from Saudi Arabia could now arrive to add to their earnings.

Saudi Arabia weigh up late Kieran Trippier offer

Kieran Trippier‘s future was a big talking point this window after he asked to leave Newcastle United.

Trippier was linked with a move to Everton to reunite w🐠ith Sean Dyche, but a move across the Premier League never came to fruition before the deadlin𓆉e.

Eddie Howe was eager to keep hold of Trippier ꦅdespite the player asking to leave, but even with the English window now clo⛦sed he could still complete a late exit.

According to , a number of Turkish and Saudi Arabian clubs are st𝐆ill in discussion o💜ver a potential move for Trippier.

Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce have made contact over a po🀅tential move, while Al Ittihad from thꩲe Saudi Pro League also retain an interest.

Newcastle United have left it too late

Just like the rest of their transfer business this summ🌞er, Newcastle have left it far too late to sell Trippier.

The 33-year-old is an expe♒rienced veteran and a leader in the Newcastle dressing room – losing him this late wit🍷hout being able to find a replacement would be problematic.

Tino Livramento has been Howe’s first-choice right-back at the start of this season, but Newcastle will need qualit👍y depth and competition for the 21-year-old and tha🐠t’s where Trippier is essential.
