Newcastle are in deep trouble ahead of the 2025/26 season. |
According to UEFA regulations, at least four home-grown players must be included in the 25-man squad registered to play in the 2025/26 Champions League. However, Newcastle currently do not have any players who meet UEFA's home-grown requirements.
Joe White and Sean Longstaff were once considered eligible, but both have been sold by Newcastle. As a result of this breach, Newcastle are likely to be limited to 21 players for the Champions League, instead of the 25 they were originally due to register.
If this happens, the Magpies will be at a huge disadvantage compared to their opponents in the Champions League. At the same time, it is likely that some players will be cut from the list of players registered to compete in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Newcastle's current squad is also seriously unbalanced, with six first-team goalkeepers following the arrival of Aaron Ramsdale from Southampton, and Newcastle are also at risk of breaching UEFA and Premier League Financial Fair Play regulations.
That's why Newcastle are still struggling in the transfer market. The situation at Newcastle shows signs of instability. According to The Athletic , the club has not appointed a new sporting director following the departure of Dan Ashworth, while chief executive Darren Eales has temporarily stepped down due to health reasons.
Plans to build a new stadium or upgrade the training centre have also failed to progress, despite Newcastle's most successful 2024/25 campaign in decades, with Carabao Cup success and qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
