Newcastle United are expected to entertain offers for several first-team players this summer as the club aims to balance recruitment with compliance under the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules, according to [The Athletic’s Chris Waugh](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6387767/2025/06/03/newcastle-united-transfer-latest-summer-window-2025/).
Sean Longstaff is the most notable name among potential departures. The 27-year-old midfielder is entering the final 12 months of his contract and would represent “pure profit” under PSR regulations, given his status as an academy graduate.
Longstaff rejected approaches in January, but an exit now appears increasingly likely.
Still, Waugh noted that Longstaff is the club’s only “club-trained” senior player, a designation that has importance for meeting squad registration criteria in European competition. That could factor into Newcastle’s decision-making.
Joe Willock and Harvey Barnes are also candidates for sale, although nothing is confirmed at this point. While manager Eddie Howe would prefer to keep both players, the club may have to consider significant offers if they allow Newcastle to reinvest.
Kieran Trippier, similarly valued by Howe, has faced repeated speculation over a potential move with links to multiple teams in possible transfers during the past few transfer windows.
Further names expected to be available include goalie Odysseas Vlachodimos, the £20 million man who has made only one substitute appearance, and fellow netminder Martin Dubravka, whose status remains unresolved despite signing a contract extension in January.
Matt Targett will be made available, and Isaac Hayden is set to depart with no role under Howe. Garang Kuol could also be sold outright.
Newcastle, however, will not entertain bids for key pieces such as Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, Tino Livramento, or Sandro Tonali.
