Bryan Mbeumo signs as £30m man snubs Man Utd – Newcastle United’s dream 2025/26 starting XI

The summer transfer window opens, albeit temporarily, in 18 days time and Newcastle United will be hoping to have a very busy few months.

This summer, the transfer window will open on June 1, around a fortnight earlier than usual. It will be open for ten days, before closing between June 10-16 and then reopening, for good, on 16 June.

Newcastle United will be keen to hit the ground running when the window opens and make up for lost time after a very quiet 18 months on the transfer front. The Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules has restricted their spending power in recent times but it is expected that they can go out and spend money this summer.

And they will have to do that to flesh out a thin squad in anticipation of European football. Champions League qualification is still the aim between now and the end of the season, but continental football of some form has already been secured and if they are to have a good run in Europe and perform well domestically, then they will have to add to Eddi Howe’s options.
