Newcastle preparing to sell £45m trio after Saudi talks and Leeds interest – The Telegraph

According to The Telegraph, Newcastle United are looking to sell Callum Wilson, Miguel Almiron and Martin Dubravka this summer, with Sean Longstaff also facing an uncertain future after early interest from Leeds.

Luke Edwards reports that Newcastle must sell wisely to help fund a number of ambitious signings this summer, but have no plans to lose star duo Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak.

It’s believed unnamed clubs in Saudi Arabia have already held ‘tentative talks’ over a move for Wilson, who is 32, out of contract next summer and on big wages for a player who has spent a big chunk of the 2023/24 season out inured.

Edwards feels the ‘writing is on the wall’ for Almiron, who ‘almost’ left for Al-Shabab in January. He turned 30 this year and, like Longstaff, any sale would generate ‘pure profit’ in PSR terms. Longstaff has one year left on his current deal, making Leeds a potential one to watch if they win Sunday’s play-off final.

Dubravka is expected to leave as part of a goalkeeper overhaul this summer, as he’s struggled to impress in Nick Pope’s absence and would fall further down the pecking order if Giorgi Mamardashvili or Aaron Ramsdale sign to compete for the No 1 spot.
