Newcastle United can trigger left-back's £13.8m release clause as Lewis Hall 'considered' by Man Utd
A look at the latest Newcastle United transfer news.
Newcastle United have today released their retained list in preparation for the 2026-27 season.
While some old faces have been retained, the Magpies hope to add some new faces as they look to bounce back from last season’s disappointing 12th place finish in the Premier League.
Here’s a look at the latest transfer rumours doing the rounds:
Lewis Hall a target for Manchester United
Lewis Hall is being considered as a potential left-back option by Manchester United, according to The Athletic.
However, it’s also reported that Newcastle aren’t looking to sell the 21-year-old and that any deal could cost north of £50million.
Hall joined the Magpies, initially on loan from Chelsea in 2024, before completing a permanent £28million move a year later.
From then, Hall has gone on to establish himself as one of the best left-backs in the country, earning huge plaudits for his performance against Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal in March.
He was, however, controversially left out of England’s World Cup squad.
Newcastle United have been linked with a Spanish left-back
Elsewhere, Newcastle have been linked with signing a left-back, with Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo claiming they are among several clubs to reach out to the agent of Racing Santander’s Jorge Salinas.
The 19-year-old registered seven assists in 33 appearances last season as Racing were to La Liga.
Salinas has a release clause of around £13.8m and is attracting interest from the likes of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle.
Newcastle United identify ‘prime’ right-back target
Following the departures of Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth, and interest in Tino Livramento, Newcastle are targeting a right-back and according to the Daily Mail have identified Atalanta’s Marco Palestra as a “prime” target”.
The 21-year-old has just come off the back of an impressive on loan at Serie A rivals Cagliari but Atalanta are willing to cash in following a high level of interest.
It’s claimed Manchester City, Arsenal and Inter Milan have all enquired about Palestra in recent weeks and the latter are “primed” to make a “substantial offer” as they prepare to sell Denzel Dumfries.
