Premier League give Newcastle United £150m boost ahead of summer transfer window

Newcastle United ended an underwhelming season sitting in the bottom half of the Premier League table.

Newcastle United are facing one of the most important transfer windows in their recent history as they look to move on from what has been a disappointing season.

The performance during the final day defeat at Fulham encapsulated what has been a frustrating campaign for everyone connected with the Magpies and has ensured there are some major decisions to be taken over several members of Eddie Howe’s squad during the summer.

Missing out on a place in European competition has been a blow for Newcastle as they look to strengthen their squad in a number of key positions - but there is still hope they can refresh their ranks before the new season gets underway in August. As ever, there will be a need to take financial regulations into consideration and the upcoming campaign will bring the introduction of the Premier League’s squad cost ratio (SCR) rules. That means every penny and pound Newcastle receive will be crucial ahead of the summer transfer window - and the Magpies have already received a financial boost from the governing body after details of the prize money distributed to the 20 top flight clubs following the conclusion of the campaign.

But how much have Newcastle and their Premier League rivals received in prize money this season? Income has been received from merit payments based on each club’s final league position and via broadcasting payments based on the number of fixtures shown live on domestic and international outlets (figures from The Athletic).
