The January transfer window is now open, but Newcastle United will struggle to strengthen Eddie Howe’s side due to financial constraints.
Newcastle were forced to sell Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh in the summer due to Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules, and even in January, the Magpies are unable to spend without facing a point deduction.
Newcastle acknowledges that a big star may need to be sold in 2025 to balance the books at St James’ Park, but they are first attempting to unload marginal players this month. As many as five Newcastle players could leave in 2025 to address PSR issues. According To The chroniclelive.
The good news for Newcastle is that the current PSR requirements will be removed for the start of 2025/26 campaign. The bad news? The new regulations will still stop them from competing at the top.

New ‘Squad cost rules’ will limit on-pitch spending to 85% of a club’s football revenue, including transfer fees, wages, and agent fees, replacing the current PSR regulations that limit Premier League clubs to a maximum loss of £105 million over a three-year period. Everton and Nottingham Forest have already experienced points deductions for exceeding this limit.
However, clubs competing in European competition will only be allowed to spend 70 percent of their revenue so that they also comply with similar Uefa rules.
Newcastle have been working hard to try and increase all revenue streams with talks ongoing about expanding St James’ Park to 65,000 to boost matchday income.
