Newcastle See Multiple Transfer Bids Rejected

Newcastle United's £45 million bid for Nottingham Forest's Anthony Elanga was rejected, with Forest insisting they will not sell and valuing the winger at over £60 million. Newcastle also saw their offers for Brighton's Joao Pedro and Burnley's James Trafford turned down, with Brighton and Forest demanding higher fees and Burnley valuing Trafford above £30 million. The club is considering alternative targets such as Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo, West Ham's Mohammed Kudus, PSV's Johan Bakayoko, and Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi. Newcastle is prioritizing a right winger to compete with Jacob Murphy following Miguel Almiron's departure as they prepare for the Champions League. The club's recent transfer frustrations highlight the difficulty of acquiring top attacking talent, as selling clubs are holding out for record-breaking fees. Newcastle is now weighing whether to improve their offers or move on to other targets.
