Newcastle United are having a really difficult summer transfer market.

Newcastle had a historic 2024-2025 season. It was also a difficult time with a number of injuries at the beginning of the season, but Newcastle came back to life perfectly from the middle. He dramatically secured a place in the European Champions League (UCL) by finishing fifth in the league. In addition, he won the Carabao Cup and won the major trophy for the first time in 70 years.




Newcastle, which is run by Saudi Arabian capital, has prepared to reinforce the storm for the upcoming season. However, so far, only Antony Elanga, who was brought in from Nottingham Forest, has been recruited. It is not that there was no money, and there was no movement, but they are all failing to recruit.

The beginning was Matheus Cunha. Eddie Howe and Newcastle saw that strengthening the attack was essential to be competitive in the UCL. In response, he tried to preempt Matheus Cunha, the Wolverhampton ace. But Manchester United also targeted Cunha. Cunha chose Manchester United.

Newcastle, which failed to bring Cunha, wanted Brentford superstar Brian Mbormo. Newcastle wasn't the only one who wanted Mboumo. There were Tottenham and Manchester United as well. Here again, Newcastle failed to recruit Mbömo as they fell behind Manchester United.

Newcastle then turned abroad and tried to bring in Hugo Ekittike, a rising striker from Einracht Frankfurt. Ekitike was also open to a transfer, and an agreement with Frankfurt was not far away. Liverpool suddenly intervened at this time, and Ekittike decided to go to Liverpool over the hand he had held with Newcastle. In addition, there are many strikers that Newcastle missed, including João Pedro and Liam Delap.

If it is difficult to recruit, you should keep your existing resources well. However, Newcastle's irreplaceable ace Alexander Isaac asked for a sale, saying he wanted to move to Liverpool. Isaac is pushing for a transfer with such a strong attitude that he will miss the East Asian tour, including Korea. Newcastle immediately started looking for a replacement, judging that it might be difficult to catch Isaac.

It was Benjamin Seschko of RB Leipzig. Newcastle, which has to sign Seschuko somehow, has another Manchester United appear. Manchester United, desperate to recruit strikers, finally decided to try to recruit Seschuko after failing to recruit several players.

England's The Athletic said on the 31st (Korea time) 'Manchester United is targeting Leipzig's Seschuko first if they recruit a striker this summer. Manchester United has already had informal contact with Leipzig after setting Seschko as its top target. Newcastle are also putting the 22-year-old Seschko first. Newcastle's interest is accelerating Manchester United's move, with Isaac wanting to leave St James' Park. Seschuko is currently known to want Manchester United rather than Newcastle.

Newcastle recruited Park Seung-soo, Korea's top promising player, and gained favorable responses from Korean fans while visiting Korea. However, Newcastle has lost consecutive games, and the mood is not so good. A disgraceful situation can be created in which only Manchester United loses three of its top targets.
