Despite the takeover of the club putting Newcastle among the world’s richest clubs, Newcastle have been very clever with their business in the transfer market and have refused to sign ‘superstars’ based on name value alone.
Their work in the market has seen them rise from relegation candidates to European hopefuls in just one season, however, will they have to break this policy in-order to make that jump into the Premier League’s elite group?
This, of course, will likely be dependent on which, if any, European competition Newcastle are playing in next season.
Here, we take a look at 11 global superstars that Sky Bet believe could be on their way to St James’ Park this summer.

3. Jude Bellingham (25/1)
Bellingham is likely to leave Borussia Dortmund this summer after continuing to impress at the Bundesliga side. Real Madrid or Liverpool are seen as the most likely destinations for the Three Lions youngster. Photo: Christof Koepsel
4. Paul Pogba (20/1)
Injury problems have plagued Pogba’s return to Juventus, but the Old Lady’s struggles could mean the Frenchman is offloaded this summer. The MLS seems his most likely destination if he left Turin at the end of the season. Photo: Valerio Pennicino
