Newcastle United are likely to miss out on European qualification as they sit 14th in the Premier League table with four games remaining.
The recent run of results have placed manager Eddie Howe under huge pressure, and there is no certainty he will be in the dugout next season.
If Newcastle miss out on European qualification, several top players could push for an exit in the summer transfer window.
Anthony Gordon
Gordon has been a key first-team player since joining the club in 2023.
However, the England international reportedly wants to leave the Magpies this summer, with Bayern Munich and Arsenal both keen to secure his services.
Newcastle tried to keep Alexander Isak against his will last year, but that still led to a messy departure.
They probably will have learned their lesson and won’t repeat the same mistake with Gordon.
Sandro Tonali
Tonali has been an important first-team player this campaign, featuring in 32 Premier League games.
However, the club’s chief executive David Hopkinson has conceded that they need to sell to comply with financial rules.
Tonali has no shortage of suitors, with both Manchester United and Manchester City credited with an interest in the midfielder.
Newcastle’s £100 million valuation could be a major hurdle in transfer negotiations.
Bruno Guimaraes
Bruno Guimaraes has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League since joining Newcastle in 2022.
He is highly rated for his versatility, as he can play as a box-to-box midfielder and a deep-lying playmaker.
Guimaraes is contracted until 2028, but Newcastle could be tempted to sell him.
Man United have been linked with an interest, and a lucrative offer could convince the Tyneside club to let the Brazilian leave this summer.
Tino Livramento
Livramento is yet to sign a new contract with Newcastle, despite his deal expiring in 2028.
This has fuelled speculation regarding his future at St James’ Park.
Manchester City are known admirers of the 23-year-old, while Arsenal could also be in the market for a new full-back.
The Magpies will be reluctant to lose another right-back with Kieran Trippier leaving this summer, but they could find it hard to turn down a big offer from City or Arsenal.
