Newcastle United could have a very busy winter window as they look to react from a seemingly ever growing injury list and strengthen what has been, to date, a very solid start to the season.
The Magpies will be hoping to compete on all fronts when the winter window opens and will need to add quality and depth to their squad should they be able to give every competition a good go.
But who should they look to sign in January? A whole host of players have been linked with a move to St James’ Park in recent weeks - but here, we take a look at who Football Manager 2024 believes they should be targeting when the winter window opens.
5. Marcos Leonardo
Leonardo currently plays for Santos in Brazil and has registered 21 goals in 41 games this season. Santos are renowned for producing superb attacking talents - could Leonardo be the next one off their production line? If so, Football Manager predicts that it will cost Newcastle around £20m for his signature. | Getty Images

Andre is a 21-year-old defensive midfielder that plays for Brazilian side Fluminense. He has been capped twice by Brazil and has been a regular feature for his club since breaking into the first team in 2021. | AFP via Getty Images
7. Nordi Mukiele
Another centre-back that FM believe Newcastle United could target in January is PSG defender Mukiele. The French international hasn’t been a regular starter whilst in Paris. | AFP via Getty Images
8. Leandro Barreiro
Barreiro currently plays for Mainz in the Bundesliga and has represented Luxembourg 50 times, despite being aged only 23. Barreiro is a tidy central midfielder - but would cost the Magpies £30m - according to Football Manager. | Getty Images
