Clubs are striving to secure their transfer targets, and in the case of Newcastle and others, they may be compelled to sell players to ensure compliance with financial regulations.
Financial Fair Play (FFP) was created to prevent any single club from excessively spending without consequences. From a fan’s standpoint, it is reassuring to observe that FFP appears to be functioning as intended. Newcastle United, with their reported spending power estimated at $594.43 billion or £466.90 billion by Reuters, could have been one of the clubs capable of significantly impacting the transfer market.

As reported by the Daily Mirror (via Fichajes), Al Shabab from the Saudi Pro League has reportedly made an initial £30 million offer for Paraguayan player Miguel Almiron. Considering that a potential sale of Kieran Trippier is expected to yield only around £11 million to £12 million, there’s a chance that Almiron might be the one to be sold.
Either of these scenarios is unlikely to be well-received by Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe. The team’s failure to qualify for the latter stages of the Champions League, and the potential financial gains that accompany it, is evidently having a significant impact.
