Newcastle United could have new owners when the 2020-21 Premier League campaign starts on September 12 with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund looking to complete a £300 million takeover.
Some major squad changes are expected to take place if that happens, and even if the takeover doesn’t go through before the summer transfer window closes on October 5 and Mike Ashley remains owner, exits and arrivals in the playing squad remain on the cards.
One player who is expected to remain in Newcastle and not feature in the Premier League regardless of who the owners are is Henri Saivet.
