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 just one win away and defeating Everton on Sunday could have huge implications for their hopes this summer with Champions League football allowing them to target a whole new level of players when the window opens.
Here, we take a look at what Newcastle United’s ‘dream’ starting XI could look like when the 2025/26 season gets underway. Would you like to see this team at St James’ Park? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts there.
Newcastle United ‘dream’ 2025/26 starting XI
GK: James Trafford
RB: Tino Livramento
CB: Marc Guehi
CB: Sven Botman
LB: Lewis Hall
CM: Bruno Guimaraes
CM: Sandro Tonali
CM: Joelinton
Joelinton proves on a weekly basis why he is a key figure in this team and he will be needed again next season as part of a well balanced midfield trio.
RW: Bryan Mbeumo
The Brentford man looks to be the ideal fit for Newcastle United’s right-wing position. He won’t come cheap, but he will certainly add great quality to a position that is lacking in depth right now.
ST: Alexander Isak
LW: Anthony Gordon
Gordon has shown throughout his time in the north east just what a key player he is for Howe and he will undoubtedly have a big role to play next season and beyond.
