The takeover of the club in October 2021 completely transformed fortunes at St James’ Park and meant the Magpies would attack transfer windows as they looked to improve on all aspects of their squad.
Of course, in the early stages, the takeover meant Newcastle were linked with a great amount of ‘superstars’ - but they have thus far resisted this temptation and instead have built the squad with shrewd additions.
With three transfer windows having come and gone under new owners, and another on the horizon, we take a look at a selection of players that ultimately didn’t make the move to Newcastle and the reasons for their failed moves.
Would you have liked to see any of these join Eddie Howe’s side in the last few transfer windows? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts there.
13. Goncalo Ramos
Ramos was linked with a move to Newcastle last summer, before a very good World Cup showing reignited those links in January. Ramos’ price tag has steadily risen over the last few months and the signing of Alexander Isak meant another striker wasn’t a priority. Photo: Gualter Fatia
14. Diego Carlos
Carlos was reportedly keen on a move to Newcastle in January 2022, but his club Sevilla wouldn’t budge on a price and Newcastle wouldn’t pay over the odds for the defender. Carlos moved to Villa Park last summer as the Magpies moved for Sven Botman. Photo: Christopher Lee
15. Mykhailo Mudryk
It was clear that Mudryk would leave Shakhtar Donetsk in January with Newcastle and Arsenal among the favourites to sign him. However, it would be Chelsea that landed his signature. Photo: Marc Atkins
16. Jack Harrison
Newcastle reportedly submitted a bid for the Leeds winger in summer, but Leeds were reluctant to sell the winger. A move to Leicester City was touted for Harrison in January, but he remained at Elland Road. Photo: Stu Forster
