HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO DECIDE WHICH PLAYERS NUFC SHOULD LOOK TO MOVE ON IN THE TRANSFER WINDOW 10:17, 02 Jun 2025Updated 10:18, 02 Jun 2025 Newcastle United enter this summer's
transfer window with money to spend, but with the knowledge that they need to sell to top up any transfer budget. Eddie Howe and Co have not talked specific numbers, and why should they, but
after three windows of restraint, the lock has come off the treasure chest. In these days of FFP and PSR, the spending cannot be limitiless, of course, with clubs forced to balance their
books to a certain extent. That means while United can afford to invest heavily again, there is a finite amount they will be able to spend before they must sell in order to fund further
deals. It's something that has restricted Newcastle previously, but will gradually improve over time. United don't yet have the squad depth that allows them to sell a high-profile
player without seriously weakening Howe's options. Sides who have spent more time at the top end of the Premier League table are more able to sell hIgh and reinvest. Even Aston Villa
have been able to bankroll some ambitious deals by selling the likes of Jhon Duran, Douglas Luiz, Moussa Diaby, Cameron Archer and Jaden Philogene. Article continues below Newcastle sold
Allan Saint-Maximin for around £30m in 2023 and Chris Wood for £20m, but were forced into offloading Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh last summer to avoid breaching profit and
sustainability rules. That won't be the case this year, but they will have to consider exits to bolster their spending. If top names such as Alexander Isak, Sandro Tonali and Bruno
Guimaraes are to be preserved, it begs the question which players could be sold. Most exits will need replacing, given the demands of European football next season, but who could be
'sacrificed' to enable more investment? Below, we've listed the entire squad as it stands. A couple of decisions have already been made, with Jamal Lewis set to leave and
Callum Wilson expected to depart when their contracts expire at the end of the month. There are plenty of other squad players who could leave, but what about more high-profile players. All
you have to do is select keep or sell from the list below and we'll compile a verdict for each member of the current squad. _Here at ChronicleLive, we are dedicated to bringing you the
