Newcastle could have a very busy summer should they qualify for Champions League football, with an eight player shortlist reportedly having been drawn up ahead of the transfer window.
The Saudi Public Investment Fund backed Magpies have so far spent £250 million during their tenure as owners, with new arrivals such as Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak. However, this summer could have more requirements to follow this business by bringing in even more quality in order to compete in the Champions League next season, should they seal qualification.
This has led to Brazilian winger Neymar being touted as a potential signing. The 31-year-old has become unsettled at PSG and is expected to leave this summer, with Newcastle one of very few teams who could meet the wage demands and a transfer fee for a player who remains the most expensive in history, albeit not someone who has been named in an eight-man transfer shortlist.
