Flashscore sources: Newcastle eyeing Nmecha & Palhinha in quest to replace Bruno Guimaraes

[p]German boss Jaissle has signed a four-year deal with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/newcastle-utd/p6ahwuwJ/"]Newcastle[/a], to complete a move from Saudi side [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/al-ahli-sc/0MHmoCY0/"]Al Ahli[/a]. [/p][p]He led them to consecutive Asian Champions League crowns but now lands in a very different environment as Newcastle attempt to stop a spiral that has seen them lose the core of their set-up.[/p][p]Eddie Howe left his role as manager last week, on the back of a summer that had already seen Antony Gordon move to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/barcelona/SKbpVP5K/"]Barcelona[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tonali-sandro/fmQVO5TQ/"]Sandro Tonali[/a] join [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/tottenham/UDg08Ohm/"]Tottenham[/a]. Star striker [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/isak-alexander/p41IV42c/"]Alexander Isak[/a] moved to [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/liverpool/lId4TMwf/"]Liverpool[/a] last year, while Brazilian midfielder [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bruno-guimaraes/xtyKanzU/"]Guimaraes[/a] is in the process of completing a £75 million deal to join [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/arsenal/hA1Zm19f/"]Arsenal[/a].[/p][p][b]Jaissle will not have full control over how Newcastle sharpen up their squad with new signings - but sources insist he will get a say in influencing how Guimaraes is replaced.[/b][/p][p]It is important to understand that Newcastle did not want to sell Guimaraes, but the player made his own intentions clear once Arsenal made their approach. He sees a move to North London as the ideal moment in his career to pursue significant silverware. [/p][embed guid="a4c7e529-0dae-4924-aacf-c5a562281565" url="https://x.com/SkySports_Keith/status/2084915984956100923" social-type="twitter" /][p]The club can immediately look to reinvest the funds from his transfer, and at this stage sources say the new boss is primarily keen to find a dependable, trusted figure for the role.[/p][p]Newcastle are expected to prioritise experience to come into the side and have been exploring whether they can find any value in the English market, or whether they must look abroad.[/p][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/nmecha-felix/80RErj9O/"]Felix Nmecha[/a] of [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/dortmund/nP1i5US1/"]Borussia Dortmund[/a] is one player to have been identified, but he is not yet convinced by the move.[/b][/p][p][b]Similarly, sources have told Flashscore that there is admiration for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/bayern-munich/nVp0wiqd/"]Bayern Munich[/a]'s [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/palhinha-joao/vFArGMai/"]Joao Palhinha[/a], but he is still weighing up his options and may return to play in Portugal instead, where [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/benfica/zBkyuyRI/"]Benfica[/a] have been strongly linked.[/b][/p][p]Other options continue to be examined so that they can very soon begin to progress with their squad build for the new season. [/p][infobox id="f961102e-920a-4281-b5f2-f996852544cf" /]
