Newcastle United is seeking to include new deals to the team before the start of the new season 2025-2026, to achieve its club’s strategy in investing young talents and strongly returning to local and European competitions.
Contracting with Illanga
The club announced its contract with Swedish Anthony Illanga, coming from Nottingham Forest, during the current summer transfer window.
The “BBC” network said that Illanga, 22, signed a long -term contract with Newcastle in a move that reflects the club’s ambition to support its attack line with high -quality youth players.
She explained that the value of the deal amounted to 55 million pounds, after the distinguished season presented by Elanga in the Nutingham Forest shirt under the leadership of Portuguese coach Nuno Santo.
She emphasized that Manchester United, the former Elanga club, will receive 15% of the value of the deal, according to the item that is included in its sale contract to Forest two years ago.
Previous attempts
Notingham had rejected a former financial offer from Newcastle United to contract with the brilliant Swedish wing Anthony Illanga, according to the British newspaper “The Ethletic”.
Newcastle submitted a offer of 45 million pounds, but the Nutingham Forest administration responded to rejection on the same day, stressing that the player is not offered for sale at the present time, as he is one of the basic technical columns of the team.
This offer was preceded by Newcastle’s attempts to win the Swedish wing services, with 30 million pounds in a deal that included two additional payments of 5 million, and a reciprocal deal that included Paraguayan striker Miguel Almeiron, who later moved to the American League through the Atlanta United gate, which was also rejected.
Illanga numbers
Illanga, 23, has made an exceptional season with Notingham in the English Premier League 2024-2025, where he participated in all the 38th team matches, scored 6 goals and made 11 goals, becoming one of the most influential players in the team at the attack level.
