Newcastle Eyes Kalimuendo as Deadline Looms for El Khannouss
So, Newcastle United are really making moves this summer, and things are getting pretty interesting on Tyneside. After already bringing in Aaron Ramsdale and Anthony Elanga, the club is on the verge of signing Malick Thiaw from AC Milan. He’s reportedly in town for his medical, which would make him the Magpies’ third signing of the window. But attention is already shifting to what—or rather, who—comes next.

The big priority right now is strengthening the attack. Even with Alexander Isak in the squad, Newcastle still need a striker because Callum Wilson has left the club. And it’s not just forwards; midfield reinforcements are also on the radar after Sean Longstaff moved to Leeds United. So, the club is quietly but actively exploring options on multiple fronts.
One of the names being thrown around is Arnaud Kalimuendo from Rennes. Apparently, Newcastle are in discussions with the French side, alongside Brentford, who are said to be slightly further ahead in negotiations. Kalimuendo reportedly turned down Leeds, which opens a window for Newcastle to swoop in. Interestingly, this could mirror what Liverpool did in a previous transfer scenario—they were behind initially but managed to pull off the signing in the end. Eddie Howe’s squad, which also has eyes on Yoane Wissa, could replicate that exact scenario, landing Kalimuendo despite being second in line.
Meanwhile, there’s a rush happening on another front. Newcastle are reportedly considering triggering a release clause for Bilal El Khannouss. The clause is said to cost over £30 million and must be acted on quickly because it’s close to expiring. Other Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Tottenham are also linked with him, but this development might give Newcastle a chance to get ahead of their rivals and secure a valuable midfield addition at the right moment.
It’s shaping up to be an exciting and potentially decisive week for Newcastle United. Between completing Thiaw’s transfer, negotiating for Kalimuendo, and possibly triggering El Khannouss’ release clause, the Magpies could significantly strengthen their squad before the Premier League season kicks off. Fans will want to stay tuned, because if these deals go through, Newcastle could enter the new campaign with real momentum—and maybe even pull off a few surprises along the way.
