How much are Newcastle United’s PIF-led owners worth compared to their Premier League rivals?
The fortunes at St James Park have been transformed since a PIF-led consortium completed a reported £330m takeover of the Magpies in October 2021 and the club will head into the 2025/26 season on the back of the most successful campaign in their recent history. With the Carabao Cup in the trophy cabinet and the 70-year wait for major domestic silverware now at an end, there is a hunger to experience more success and the St James Park hierarchy will hope to boost their chances by making further eye-catching signings throughout the remainder of the transfer window.
As it stands, Spanish youngster Antonio Cordero remains the only addition of the summer and the former Malaga winger is expected to leave the club on loan ahead of the new season. Newcastle are said to want to add a goalkeeper, a centre-back, a winger and a striker to their squad before the campaign gets underway and the likes of Burnley star James Trafford, Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo and Brighton and Hove Albion forward Joao Pedro are amongst the long list of names linked with a move to Tyneside.
Much has been made of Newcastle being unable to really unleash the spending power of their PIF-led owners as they have continued to battle against the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations in recent seasons - but how much are the current Magpies owners worth compared to their rivals across the top tier of the English game?
