TRANSFER SNAG: NEWCASTLE BLOCKS LIVERPOOL'S MOVE FOR SVEN BOTMAN
Liverpool's pursuit of defender Sven Botman is stalled as Newcastle's transfer head, Ross Wilson, confirms the club is preparing a new contract offer for the Dutchman.
Liverpool's hunt for Virgil van Dijk's replacement just hit a snag. Newcastle's transfer head, Ross Wilson, said Sven Botman will get a new contract offer.
The Reds want a new centre-back because Van Dijk's form has dipped. They missed out on Marc Guehi this summer and have been eyeing Botman, the Dutch defender, whose Newcastle contract ends in 18 months.
But Newcastle wants to keep its key players. They're planning new deals for both Botman (who Chelsea is also watching) and Tino Livramento, who Manchester City is targeting. They already extended Sandro Tonali's deal.
Wilson said, When I started, I learned Sandro's contract was in better shape than I thought.
I spent my first few days reviewing contracts—seeing where we're strong, weak, and where we have problems. We want to extend Tino's and Sven Botman's contracts.
These talks are happening. Some are harder than others, but we want to keep these players. Will they agree? It's too soon to tell.
With January coming up, Wilson also talked about Newcastle's recruitment for 2026. He said that no big choices have been made yet, as he's waiting to talk with Eddie Howe about what the coach needs.
Wilson said, Eddie and I haven't discussed January in terms of new players. We've talked about how he feels about the current squad.
How does he feel about the squad we have? What about its shape, size, and the players in it? That's what we've discussed so far.
Our scouting is always going on, so our staff is always doing a lot of work.
Newcastle spent around $330 million last summer after a few quiet transfer windows. Despite this large spending, there are no major limits for the next transfer window.
Wilson added, Can we spend in January? After our summer spending, it's clear we won't do that again in winter for several reasons. But if we want to spend, we can. We'll be creative and look for opportunities.
It must fit our summer plan, which is our larger squad plan. These talks are in progress. We'll discuss where Eddie sees needs in the squad, if any.
For now, we're discussing what we have, what we think about it, and where we see it fitting in January and beyond.
€75 MILLION BID: NEWCASTLE LAUNCHES MASSIVE TRANSFER OFFENSIVE FOR FERRAN TORRES
Newcastle United has reportedly launched a shock €75 million bid, plus a huge salary offer, for FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, testing the Catalan club's resolve.
Newcastle United is reportedly planning a big move in January for FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres. According to Fichajes reporter Raul Cabrera Jimenez, the club is ready to offer €75 million, plus a good salary, to bring the former Premier League player back to England.
Jimenez stated that Barcelona is in a busy period of the transfer window after Newcastle United showed strong interest in signing Ferran Torres with a huge offer of 75 million.
The situation heated up after Manchester United and Chelsea made £60 million bids for Harvey Barnes.
Jimenez wrote that Newcastle responded with an even bigger offer to show their financial power in the transfer market.
The report says Barcelona was surprised by Newcastle's big offer, calling it one of the highest in this transfer window. Jimenez pointed out that Torres has been in good form, scoring nine goals and providing one assist in 17 games before Tuesday’s game, which is why several clubs are interested in him.
Jimenez added that Newcastle plans to make Torres one of the highest-paid players in the team, offering him a salary of £13.5 million per season. This shows their desire to get a player who can really change the game from day one.
The report also talked about the issue that Barcelona is facing. Jimenez said that the club needs money, but it also wants to keep its good players, and Ferran Torres is one of them.
Even though Barcelona had said before that Torres was not for sale, with NUFC already contacting them in the past, Jimenez said that FCB must now consider the big money offer against the player's new importance under Hansi Flick.
Jimenez finished by saying that the next few weeks will be important, as Newcastle is determined to push for a signing that will help them progress and compete at the top of the league.
HOWE PRAISES NICK WOLTEMADE: STAR STRIKER READY FOR UCL CHALLENGE DESPITE SETBACK WORRIES
Newcastle star Nick Woltemade, settled in with eight goals and his best friend, laughed off questions about his dating life ahead of the crucial UCL game vs. Leverkusen.
Newcastle United's Nick Woltemade chuckled when asked about his dating life since moving to Tyneside.
The 23-year-old striker spoke at a press event before heading back to Germany for Wednesday's Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen.
Woltemade, who joined from Stuttgart four months ago for about £69 million, has had a great start, scoring eight goals and getting one assist.
When asked about how he's settling in, he mentioned living with his best friend.
"I don't get why everyone's talking about living with my friend," he told reporters. It's normal when you move to a new country, right? I just asked my friend to come with me. I don't know what you call it in English, living with your best friend.
Then, when asked if he's met anyone special, Woltemade laughed and said, No, too many games!
Newcastle is currently in fifteenth place in their Champions League group, with three wins and two losses.
They’re up against a Leverkusen team that's not doing so well in their domestic league, sitting fourth and trailing the top spot by 15 points.
However, Eddie Howe had good things to say about the German team, which let go of their previous coach earlier in the year.
Reaching the next phase is what we want, Howe said. It'd be great to avoid a playoff, but we’re up against some good teams.
I’m happy with how we've played in the Champions League so far. We deserved more in our two losses. Bayer Leverkusen is a great team with a clear style, so it'll be tough.
Lately, we've had trouble defending set plays, but that's fixable. You always find things you suddenly need to work on during the season.
Howe also gave an update on Yoane Wissa, who played his first game for the club in their 2-1 victory over Burnley.
Howe said Wissa has worked hard to get here. He still has some work to do to reach his peak. Howe said he's happy to have him available, and they’ll manage his playing time.
Once Yoane is at full speed, which he isn't quite yet, he'll be ready to start, Howe added. We'll decide game by game.
After the Champions League game, Newcastle will travel to Sunderland for the Tyne-Wear derby.
