Newcastle United is reportedly set to make up to three first-team players available in the upcoming January transfer window.
The Magpies are considering trimming their squad, with the futures of Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, and Kieran Trippier currently in doubt, as noted by TBR Football.
The report indicates that Newcastle faced a difficult summer in the transfer market, being less active than they would have liked.
To address this, the club is expected to look to offload unnecessary players.
TBR Football's report particularly emphasizes Almiron, as the 30-year-old is said to be actively searching for a new club.
What next for Newcastle if they clear players out?
According to TBR Football, Newcastle has shown interest in Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi recently, but it’s clear that the England international will come at a hefty price.
However, given Palace's unexpectedly poor start to the season, it makes sense for Newcastle to consider him again in the near future. Guehi is a standout talent, and it's likely that other clubs will be vying for him as well. Consequently, Newcastle will aim to sell players like Almiron, Trippier, and Wilson as soon as they can.
In the current context of Financial Fair Play, securing sales quickly could be vital for Newcastle to afford a player like Guehi, who could help propel the team forward without jeopardizing the club's financial stability. Newcastle and other teams will be eager to steer clear of the pitfalls faced by clubs like Everton and Nottingham Forest, which have recently encountered points deductions that threatened their Premier League status, even though they ultimately managed to mitigate the damage.
