Social media platforms have been awash with nervous fans after the transfer sagas of Sven Botman and Hugo Ekitike continue to play out in the public domain.
But one thing is for sure, whatever happens with particular deals, the Magpies will end the summer stronger than they started it.
Eddie Howe has already moved to recruit Matt Targett on a permanent basis after exercising a £15million clause in his loan agreement from Aston Villa.
A number of players, of course, have been linked as United fans eagerly await news on who will be joining their football club.
NewcastleWorld, bearing in mind the latest rumours, takes a look at the players that could join Newcastle this summer - and those that probably won’t.

5. Ismaila Sarr - could join
Sarr is a name under consideration by United’s transfer officials with the Senegalese star expected to leave Watford following their relegation from the Premier League.
6. James Tarkowksi - unlikely to join

7. Moussa Diaby - could join
Newcastle are eyeing a wide forward this summer - and Diaby tops that list. His price tag is reportedly £50m, which makes it an incredibly difficult deal to do. But you can never say never, not when it’s a player that is really highly rated.
8. Dean Henderson - unlikely to join
Sources in Manchester claimed Henderson was set to join Newcastle in the early stages of the summer window but it quickly became clear that wasn’t the case. Now, Nick Pope is here and Henderson is off to Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan deal.
