Newcastle United is exploring the idea of letting Callum Wilson go in the summer as they search for a new striker, according to TEAMtalk sources.
The Magpies are in desperate need of a reliable striker, and injuries have taken a toll on the current squad. They are willing to trade some of their top players to make room for new talent.
Striker Wilson is likely on the chopping block, with manager Eddie Howe willing to part ways in favor of a stronger option. Although the club was open to offers in January, no deals materialized, and Wilson’s future is uncertain as the summer transfer window approaches.
Despite Wilson’s contributions, the club believes his age, injury history, and player profile may not be suitable for taking the team to the next level. They are determined to find a new striker to elevate their performance.
While Wilson was previously offered to clubs like Chelsea and Tottenham, their interest has waned, and other English and European clubs, as well as MLS and Saudi clubs, are keeping an eye on the 31-year-old. However, Wilson’s preference is to stay in England.
With Wilson’s contract expiring in 2025, Newcastle is eager to free up wages for new recruits due to Financial Fair Play restrictions. The club is facing challenges in their recruitment plans and made no signings in January as a result.
Since joining Newcastle in 2020, Wilson has made over 100 appearances and scored 46 goals for the club.
