Financial Fair Play have striker Newcastle United ,speculated to trade some of their most expensive players.
A new study suggests Newcastle United may have to sell some of their most valuable assets. Due to excessive summer spending, the Magpies have had difficulty adding players this month and are dangerously close to the Financial Fair Play loss cap.
Newcastle will struggle to spend heavily and stay within the £105 million loss cap, which applies to clubs only over a three-year rolling period. This will be particularly difficult if Newcastle can’t generate revenue from on-field performance—that is, by regularly qualifying for European competition.
With Saudi Arabia expressing interest, Miguel Almiron appears destined to be sold this month in an effort to create space, but things might not end there. According to Football Insider, Newcastle may have to sell some of their star players this summer in order to cut losses since they are worried about losing ground to teams that qualify for the FFP.
According to the article, Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes may be let go; Isak would be in high demand given his performance since joining St. James’ Park, while Guimaraes is reportedly drawing interest from PSG and other teams. Real Sociedad paid Newcastle around £60 million to acquire the forward.
Given that Guimaraes recently signed a new deal, it is unclear if the Magpies would truly move one or both of those players. According to reports, the Brazilian has a £100 million release clause. If he were to go, Newcastle would undoubtedly be considerably closer to fulfilling their FFP commitments for the upcoming season.
