Before the summer transfer window opens in 2024, several teams are in the dark.
Many teams, including Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Everton, are likely concerned about the outcome of their summer transfer window.
There are arguably worse situations than Everton’s, as the team still has the same owner despite losing points this season. They are hopeful that a new owner will take over and give the team fresh life.
Newcastle, despite finishing seventh, will not be participating in any kind of European competition for the upcoming season, despite having secured Champions League football the previous year.
After Manchester United defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final, supporters are now concerned about the players they might lose. In March, sources told HITC that teams like PSG had scouted Bruno Guimaraes.
Sam Matterface made an intriguing remark regarding Everton’s current circumstances and how they are “more likely to lose players” ahead of the new campaign when all of that talk was going on.
The talkSPORT host brought up Dominic Calvert-Lewin, a striker who is “going to Newcastle.”
In an interview with talkSPORT on February 6, 24 at 1:40 pm, Perry Groves questioned the potential move and the reason the Magpies would be trading one “injury-prone player” for another, Callum Wilson.
Wilson, who has played 984 minutes of football this season, and Calvert-Lewin, who has played over 2000 minutes for the first time in three campaigns, have both been plagued by ailments in recent seasons.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin to join Newcastle United
“Don’t you think that sounds like a deal—a potential Everton takeover—that will be finalized between now and the start of the season? asked Matterface. “Consequently, Everton is more likely to lose players during this time than acquire players.
“Keep in mind that they didn’t start with the deepest roster. The fact that Calvert-Lewin is heading to Newcastle will be concerning.
Groves shot back, saying, “Well, that’s having an injury-prone player (for another injury-prone player) since it appears like Callum Wilson is the one leaving. Actually, traveling to Newcastle is really similar to traveling anywhere else.
Bonkers summer transfer window ahead
FFP and the most recent point deductions have all compelled clubs to apply the brakes.
The market is being severely disrupted as a result, with some teams unsure of what to do, others willing to lose important players, and the remaining teams doing nothing.
The days of extravagant spending, unless you are Manchester City or Chelsea, are long gone, and it is still crucial to balance the books.
If you’re from Newcastle, you should be irritated by this because, while teams like Chelsea and Man City have been able to spend lavishly and rebuild their teams since the year 2000, when it’s their turn, a brick wall has been erected in front of St. James’ Park.
