Newcastle considers Joelinton departure ahead of transfer deadline

Reports indicate that Newcastle United may part ways with midfielder Joelinton before the end of the summer transfer window. Linked to a move to Saudi Pro League clubs, the Brazil international has been presented to several teams by Saudi Arabia’s recruitment committee. Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have reportedly shown no interest, while clubs such as Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad are still evaluating the opportunity. Although Newcastle has not confirmed plans to sell Joelinton, the player has two years remaining on his contract and has faced injury setbacks in recent seasons. Clarification on any requested fee or formal offers is still awaited.
