After completing the Nick Woltemade deal for more than 80 million euros, Newcastle United will focus all their efforts on recruiting Fermin Lopez from Barcelona and Yoane Wissa from Brentford.

According to Sky Sports , Woltemade arrived in Newcastle in the early morning of August 29 to prepare for a medical examination, in order to quickly complete the deal before the 2025 summer transfer window closes on September 1.

Woltemade's transfer fee is expected to be in excess of €80m (£69m), including add-ons, making him Newcastle's most expensive signing in history, surpassing the £63m they paid for Alexander Isak in 2022.

However, the Magpies do not want to stop there. According to Sport , Newcastle United are determined to recruit Fermin Lopez from Barcelona, ​​with an offer of 100 million euros, which could break Woltemade's record.

Newcastle also sent a four-fold salary offer to Lopez's agent. In addition, the English club also aims to recruit Yoane Wissa from Brentford for more than 60 million euros, to create a trident with Lopez and Woltemade in attack.

If all three deals are completed, Newcastle will have spent €240 million in the final week of the summer transfer window. These moves from Newcastle could pave the way for Isak to leave.

BBC Sport reported that Liverpool are expected to make a third bid of £140 million (equivalent to more than €161 million), a Premier League record, to sign the Swedish striker.
