Spanish outlet AS reports, via Sport Witness, that Newcastle United are prepared to trigger the €60m (£51m) release clause for Luka Sucic. The report states that Newcastle are ready to pay the clause, with the next step being to convince Sucic to move to St. James’ Park and secure personal terms. Sucic is viewed as a potential option to replace Joe Willock.

AS reported that Newcastle was interested in Luka Sucic during the last summer transfer window and considered paying his 60 million euro release clause.

According to Sportske novosti, a possible transfer of Luka Sučić to Newcastle United is already being worked on. The club's new coach, Matthias Jaissle, recently signed a four-year contract. Real Sociedad recently stated that they see the Croatian midfielder as a key project for the next season and a future leader of the team. The Spanish club wants to structure the team around him and turn him into a player of great market value. Reportedly, Sučić has no immediate plans to leave Real Sociedad.

According to Jure Burić, Newcastle are actively working on the transfer of Luka Sučić. Sučić is wanted by his former Red Bull Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle. Real Sociedad see Sučić as a foundational player for coming seasons, a view that could make negotiations with Newcastle very difficult. The club is not under pressure to sell and will demand significantly more than the 10 million euros they paid Red Bull Salzburg for Sučić in summer 2024. His contract runs until 2030.
