Vlachodimos, a 31-year-old goalkeeper, rejected a loan move to Liga MX side Pumas due to their non-European status. Newcastle is reportedly considering selling him, as they aim to offload fringe players to free up wages and make room for new signings. With Champions League ambitions, Newcastle is monitoring James Trafford, indicating Vlachodimos may not have a future at the club. Interest from La Liga's Villarreal has been hinted at, but no concrete offers have emerged yet, leaving both player and club in uncertainty.
