Newcastle United are expected to be active in the transfer market as they look to add depth to their team.
The Magpies had an injury issue in 2023-24, which wrecked their season.
Their involvement in the Champions League increased the number of games they played last season, and the injuries they sustained in all areas of the pitch fueled the demand for a larger squad at St. James’ Park.
According to Football Insider, they are interested in signing Fulham player Andreas Pereira to help them overcome their midfield issues.
With three goals and seven assists in 34 Premier League appearances last season, the Brazilian international was one of Marco Silva’s most valuable players.
The 28-year-old’s club play was so impressive that he was called up to the national squad for the first time in March since 2018.
If Newcastle pursue their interest in the midfielder, he might play with his compatriot Bruno Guimaraes for the Magpies next season.
Pereira’s contract with Fulham expires in the summer of 2026, and he has been linked with a transfer away from Craven Cottage recently.
The Magpies would be particularly interested in the player if one of their midfielders left the club this summer, with Sean Longstaff linked with newly promoted Leicester City.
The Fulham midfielder is currently on international duty for Brazil in the Copa America.
According to the source, the player is open to leaving the club, and Newcastle may provide him with the new experience he is looking for right now.
An impressive performance in the competition might speed up his move away from Fulham, and Newcastle would be eager to sign him.
He would bring creativity, physical presence, and passing ability to the Newcastle United midfield, and Howe would love to have a hardworking player like him on the club.
