Newcastle United expected 25-man Premier League squad for 2025-26 season after £250m summer

Newcastle United's concept images for a proposed 70,000-seater stadium have emerged, despite protests from 28,000 people regarding the Leazes Park plan. Additionally, Opta has predicted the Premier League table following the summer transfer window, indicating the potential finishing positions for Newcastle United and Sunderland.

The summer transfer window for Newcastle United was highly active, with the club making six new signings at a total cost of £250 million. The incomings include strikers Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa, goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale on loan, centre-back Malick Thiaw, midfielder Jacob Ramsey, and winger Anthony Elanga. Elanga was the first arrival in a £55 million deal from Nottingham Forest, followed by Ramsdale on loan from Southampton. Thiaw and Ramsey were signed within days of each other from AC Milan and Aston Villa, respectively, for a combined £74 million, before Newcastle broke their transfer record to sign Woltemade from Stuttgart. Wissa completed the signings by joining from Brentford for £55 million on deadline day.

Key departures included Alexander Isak, who left for Liverpool in a British record fee of £130 million. Other notable outgoings were Sean Longstaff to Leeds United for £15 million, Martin Dubravka to Burnley, Callum Wilson to West Ham United, Lloyd Kelly to Juventus for £20 million, Matt Targett on loan to Middlesbrough, and Odysseas Vlachodimos on loan to Sevilla.

Newcastle United is expected to submit a 25-man squad to the Premier League for the first half of the 2025-26 season, adhering to the requirement of no more than 17 non-home-grown players, with under-21 players born on or after January 1, 2004, exempt from inclusion. The squad is anticipated to reflect the summer's transfer activities, though specific player names are not detailed in the provided text.
