Newcastle United plans modest summer spending amid UEFA constraints

Newcastle United faces limitations on summer spending due to missing out on European football. While the club aims to enhance its squad, financial constraints emphasize the importance of player trades, particularly with Anthony Gordon. Recent transactions, including the £18.5 million signing of goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen, suggest a shift toward acquiring players in the £20 million to £35 million range. The club's internal spending guidelines permit spending up to 70% of revenue, although a significant outlay like last summer's £241 million is unlikely. Continued evaluation of player positions indicates potential targets may be more affordable and versatile.
