As transfer news breaks, Newcastle United is “heavily involved” in an attempt to recruit Everton star Amadou Onana.

According to FootballTransfers, Newcastle United is now in the running to sign Everton’s Amadou Onana during the summer transfer window, with Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

The Belgian has had a great season under Sean Dyche, and he has been strongly linked to leaving Goodison Park.

With a close 1-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday, April 27, the Toffees confirmed their place in the Premier League. They can now expect more money for their talented midfield player.

According to Jacque Talbot’s article for the source, the teams “most heavily involved” in Onana’s transfer attempt are Newcastle, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich.

The Magpies are optimistic about completing a deal because they collaborated with the team on Anthony Gordon’s transfer before.

Should Newcastle purchase Amadou Onana from Everton?

Onana left Lille[BBC] in 2022 for Everton for £33 million, a significant sum at the time that might turn a profit.

In two years with the Toffees he has become well-liked across his 69 appearances under various managers at Goodison.

He has only managed to start 21 games this season and he has scored two in the Premier League [FotMob] which he would likely like to improve on.

In addition to playing league football, Onana is already a consistent starter for the Belgium national team, and he will only get better.

Dyche and company might be concerned about selling to a league competitor, especially considering Gordon’s stellar play since departing.

Given the affluence of their owners, Newcastle undoubtedly has plenty of money to spend, therefore Everton may up the asking price.

It might be difficult for them to turn down a good offer because they will be aware of the Toffees’ financial predicament.
