Newcastle director plans, plus Wilson & De Gea updates

It will be an interesting time at Newcastle United as they want to hold important internal discussions about how to replace Dan Ashworth. From what I heard, this is not something 100% clear yet and Newcastle want to take their time as they can’t make the wrong move...it’s crucial to continue with their project in the best way.

Callum Wilson also seems to be in a slightly uncertain situation at Newcastle following a January saga involving Atletico Madrid. Still, Atletico Madrid are not currently in contact with Wilson or Newcastle. Their last contact was early January, and it was a clear no from Newcastle. So I’m not sure they will return, Atletico Madrid only considered that as an opportunity on loan for six months.

A lot of fans also keep asking me about the future of David de Gea after he almost joined Newcastle. He was open to joining Newcastle in November/December when they had a goalkeepers emergency but in the end the club decided not to sign any new goalkeeper. Now we have a lot of rumours every week, but there is honestly no update and nothing is happening. He’s taking his time to see if right opportunity appears.
