The upcoming summer transfer window will be crucial for Newcastle United.
If Newcastle want to be competitive in Europe then they will need to improve their squad.
Last time when they qualified for the Champions League, they did beat Kylian Mbappe’s Paris Saint-Germain at St. James’ Park.
However, they failed to progress to the knockouts as they were eliminated from the group stage.
The 2024/2025 is one of the most memorable seasons in recent history for the Magpies.
Under Eddie Howe, they finally won a trophy. They beat Liverpool at Wembley to win the Carabao Cup.
Last year, Newcastle lost their Sporting Director Dan Ashworth to Manchester United.
Dan Ashworth played a key role in bringing players like Sandro Tonali to St. James’ Park.
But, after his departure, Newcastle waited for some time and signed Paul Mitchell from AS Monaco.
Paul Mitchell has had a great track record in English football.
He was the head of scouting for Southampton and Tottenham teams that produced multiple star players.
Eddie Howe was expecting to have a big summer transfer window with Paul Mitchell.
But, Paul Mitchell has left his role as the Sporting Director of Newcastle United. The official website of the club confirms this.
Now, the Magpies will need to set a different strategy as the transfer window is about to open.
However, Paul Mitchell is not the only departure blow Newcastle will be facing at this stage of their season.
Newcastle United Chief Executive Officer, Darren Eales is also going to step down from his position.
Now, the Magpies will be in a precarious position. Newcastle needs to find solutions on the pitch.
However, they now need to find replacements for the two important roles that will be vacant at the start of the transfer window.
