Qualified for the Champions League, Newcastle has validated the first stage of its project under the Saudi era. The Magpies, thanks to their financial means and the attractiveness offered by European competition, will now target heavyweights on the transfer market.
Compared to other wealthy buyers in the world of football, Saudi Arabia are having an excellent debut at Newcastle. The new owners, installed since October 2021, have seen their team go from candidate for maintenance to contender for European places. Better still, the Magpies even won their ticket to the Champions League by securing a place in the top 4 in the league.
