- The URACAS have lost ground in the fight to ensure the qualification of the Champions League.
- Three of their star players have attracted the interest of the best clubs in Europe.
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Ruben Amorim is under pressure at Manchester United this season?
Newcastle will not allow their best players to leave if the champions league is lost this season, sending a clear and robust message to rival clubs, intermediaries and their own dressing room.
After a series of three losses in four Premier League games, Eddie Howe's team has been left out of the five best places that will be classified for the higher competition in Europe. This has given rise to new conversations in football circles of interest in Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes.
However, because the club will enter summer in a solid position from a PSR perspective and will have all its most valuable players in long -term contracts, there is no appetite or need to let any of them leave, if request.
Rather, it is the club's desire and intention to maintain most of the team and add it before the next season, regardless of whether they are playing European football.
For any player who has the ambition to play in the Champions League, the message is clear: you will have to win it here.
The hierarchy of the club has been frustrated by a performance drop during the recent defeats of the Bournemouth, Fulham and Manchester City League, especially when the players themselves produced a Herculean effort on two legs of their semifinal of the Carabao Versus Arsenal Cup , which resulted in an aggregate victory of 4-0.

Howe will undoubtedly make his players know that anyone with one eye in the final against Liverpool on March 16 runs the risk of losing their place in the team.
With Callum Wilson and Harvey Barnes returning to Fitness and Sven Botman and Joelinton in the coming weeks, Howe will probably will have more options than the Wembley date has come.
Meanwhile, there are four league games that will contribute largely to determine if Newcastle can recover its position among the top five, that they feel two places and two points further.
Ensuring a return from the Champions League would greatly contribute to placating the stars that admit that they were “restless” in the club last summer, last summer, when young talents such as Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh were sold to satisfy a deficit of PSR and a popular COE -the owners Amanda Staveley and Mehrad Ghodoussi left the club in the middle of a power struggle in the boardroom.
Now, after three transfer windows without a signature of the first team and several exits that weaken the team, as well as without tangible progress in three years of Saudi property in a new stadium or training field, questions are still asked in the costumes. The club's address and its travel speed.
But with the ads owed in these projects outside the field and the club that has suffered what Howe calls 'short -term pain to obtain long -term profits' regarding its transfer activity, there is an anticipation that this summer will indicate a renewed ambition period.
That is why the club will resist any attempt to sign its main stars and let it know how to expect them to be part of an effort to qualify once again for the Champions League, whether this season or beyond.
