Newcastle United players report back to Benton to start off pre-season preparation on Monday morning.
Still, manager Eddie Howe is delaying additional reinforcements for his team before the 2025–26 season starts.
As they try to provide more speed and directness in broad regions, the Magpies have submitted a fresh £55 million bid for Nottingham Forest winger Anthony Elanga.
At the back, Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini is a top defensive target. Newcastle are watching the Italian centre-back intently and may act officially in the following days.
For the Magpies, the pre-season calendar increases dramatically. Their first friendly comes within under two weeks with a July 19 trip to confront Celtic in Glasgow.
Howie’s men then travel to Singapore to play Arsenal. The team will next go to South Korea for games against Tottenham Hotspur and a K-League All-Stars XI.
Preparations have started and Newcastle’s summer looks poised to heat up quickly even though the transfer market has yet to ignite at St James’ Park.
