According to the British media cited above, the new bosses of the residents of St James' Park are already thinking of Jesse Lingard, currently at Manchester United, or of Burnley's English defender James Tarkowski.

But the Magpies also plan to make their market outside the Premier League, and the names mentioned are rather interesting. According to information from the local press, such as Football Insider, Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly is quite simply the main target of the Magpies!

Still under contract until June 2023 with the Italian club, the Senegalese was already linked with other European teams recently, such as PSG.

But that's not all. The Italian press also reported an interest in Mauro Icardi on Saturday. Still a Paris Saint-Germain striker, the 28-year-old Argentinian plays less and less because of the competition in attack and a departure is more than relevant for the former Inter, who has a contract until June 2023 in the capital. To get Newcastle out of the crisis and move them up the rankings, who is currently 19th in the Premier League, the new owners are seeing things big.
