Newcastle United fans have waited for almost 18 weeks for the club’s £300 million takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund to go through. Nothing has happened yet, with Saudi’s decision to permanently ban the English Premier League’s official broadcast partner beIN Sports from their country said to have dealt a huge blow on the deal. The buyers remain confident that the takeover will go through, and they are already preparing for the summer transfer window. According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Newcastle’s prospective new owners held discussions among themselves about potential transfer targets at the start of this week.
