Newcastle United is considering a bid for Chelsea forward Noni Madueke, contingent on the sale of Miguel Almiron and potential acquisition failures of other targets such as Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.
Manager Eddie Howe is keen to bolster the squad with a right winger, ensuring compliance with Premier League sustainability rules.
Madueke, who joined Chelsea in January 2023, had a breakout season with 35 appearances and eight goals, notably surpassing Raheem Sterling in the pecking order. His progress has attracted interest, and Newcastle can offer him regular playing time, especially if Chelsea secures Olise.

Almirón, who had a stellar season two years ago but struggled with form and injuries last season, has caught the attention of clubs in the Saudi Pro League. His departure would help Newcastle manage their squad under Premier League sustainability regulations.
The Magpies face financial balancing acts, potentially necessitating the sale of striker Alexander Isak and carefully navigating Bruno Guimaraes’s release clause, which exceeds £100 million.
Both Chelsea and Newcastle must make critical financial decisions as the transfer window progresses, with their strategies likely to shape their upcoming campaigns.
The situation remains dynamic, with player movements and financial considerations playing pivotal roles in the clubs’ decisions.
