Newcastle United is expected to lose Sandro Tonali, following the departures of Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak, all within a year. The club's owners, despite significant wealth, struggle against Premier League financial regulations, limiting their ability to reinforce the squad. Newcastle's revenues have risen post-takeover, yet they remain behind wealthier competitors. Coach Eddie Howe has urged for swift signings to rebuild the team, but recent efforts have fallen short, including losing out on Victor Munoz to Liverpool. The club must act decisively to appease supporters and maintain competitiveness in the league.
- •Sandro Tonali set to leave Newcastle amid high transfer fees.
- •Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak also departed within 12 months.
- •Newcastle's spending restricted by Premier League financial rules.
- •Eddie Howe calls for quick action in the transfer market.
- •Recent loss to Liverpool for Victor Munoz adds to transfer woes.

"Newcastle are about to lose another big player. Sandro Tonali will join Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak by departing St James' Park inside 12 months - albeit for combined transfer fees of £300m. Despite the wealth of the owners, Newcastle can't spend what they might want to in the transfer market and are battling against - what they might say is - the restrictive nature of the Premier League rules.
