Newcastle United are being linked with a move for AS Monaco midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to six possible arrivals and two potential exits. The hottest storyline right now is about Luca Weinhandl. Below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.

Mamadou Coulibaly

Mamadou Coulibaly transfer card On Saturday, it was reported that several European clubs are interested in 22-year-old midfielder Mamadou Coulibaly. Newcastle United, Brentford, SSC Napoli, and Atlético de Madrid are following the Franco-Malian player. While AS Monaco has not yet received a specific offer for the player, who is valued at approximately €20 million, preliminary discussions may begin as the winter transfer window approaches. The club is not currently planning to sell and has begun discussions to extend his contract from its current expiration date of June 30, 2028, to 2030. If Monaco were to consider a transfer, they could ask for an initial price between €35 and €40 million, potentially including bonuses and a resale clause.

Noa Mikić

Bayer Leverkusen and a group of English clubs, including Newcastle, Brentford, Hull City, and Ipswich Town, are monitoring Dinamo's 19-year-old Croatian right-back Noa Mikić, according to a Saturday report. All five clubs are currently analyzing the situation and evaluating his progress, with no official offers having been made yet. Dinamo is in a strong negotiating position as Mikić's contract runs until 2028.

Lewis Hall

On Tuesday, it was reported that Manchester United showed interest in signing Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall in the summer window, and Hall would have been willing to make the move if Newcastle had approved it. However, Newcastle refused to consider a sale. Ben Jacobs has suggested that Manchester United could revisit a move for Hall next year. Hall recently signed a new contract at St. James’ Park until 2031, describing the decision as a "no-brainer." He also confirmed Manchester United's interest, stating that when a player is linked to another team, they know they are doing something right. It is understood that Newcastle blocked a sale, and while the Red Devils are expected to renew their interest next summer, Hall has admitted that he will only stay if the team continues to progress under new boss Matthias Jaissle.

Tyler Morton

Up to seven Premier League clubs have been observing the development of Tyler Morton, with Newcastle tracking him as of Friday.

Giorgio Scalvini

Newcastle United have a strong interest in Giorgio Scalvini and made another attempt to sign the defender during the summer, which Atalanta refused, according to Italian sources on Thursday. Premier League interest in the player is increasing, and Newcastle continue to monitor his situation. Scalvini has agreed new terms with Atalanta on a contract until 2031, but interested clubs do not believe the new contract will prevent a future transfer.

August De Wannemacker

Newcastle United and Manchester United are interested in Belgian talent August De Wannemacker, it was reported on Thursday. For now, the two Premier League clubs are limiting their involvement to intensive scouting. Both clubs are said to view the 17-year-old KRC Genk midfielder as an interesting option for the longer term, particularly as he will enter the final year of his contract next summer.

Nick Woltemade

According to Christian Falk on Friday, Bayern Munich currently have no interest in signing Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade, who is on loan with Juventus. However, Bayern could renew their interest in him if he impresses this season as part of their ongoing effort to sign as many German internationals as possible.
