Newcastle's Transfer Talks: Almiron's Future and Interest in Gibbs-White

Amidst Newcastle’s efforts to retain key players this January there’s an acknowledgment that a summer rebuild is on the horizon, as reported by The Telegraph. While Miguel Almiron has been rumored for a potential move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab, these reports are deemed premature. In the event of Almiron’s departure, Newcastle may consider Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White as a replacement.

The club’s scouting team has been closely monitoring Gibbs-White this season.Ongoing talks may lead to Almiron’s potential sale before the end of the month with the funds potentially used to pursue Everton’s Amadou Onana or another midfield target. Despite Gibbs-White’s impressive performance in Forest’s win over Newcastle on Boxing Day, Forest is expected to resist any bid. Even if a deal for Almiron isn’t reached before the deadline, there’s a likelihood of renewed interest in the summer.
