Newcastle's January Plans: Spending Power Revealed
5 Dec
Summary
- Newcastle has financial room for January signings, despite summer spending.
- Contract extension talks are underway for Tino Livramento and Sven Botman.
- Full-backs and midfielders are the primary targets for January transfers.
Newcastle United has confirmed its capacity to make signings during the January transfer window, with sporting director Ross Wilson emphasizing an 'opportunistic' and 'creative' approach. Despite a significant outlay last summer, the club has sufficient room under the Premier League's profitability and sustainability rules to bring in new players.
Discussions are actively progressing to extend the contracts of key players Tino Livramento and Sven Botman, whose current deals expire in 2028 and 2027, respectively. Wilson has prioritized securing these players, although he acknowledges it's too early to confirm whether new agreements will be reached.
The immediate transfer priorities for January lie in strengthening the full-back and midfield positions. While scouting is continuous, any potential acquisitions may involve bringing forward planned summer 2026 targets to address current needs.
