Newcastle United transfer interest in Joe Willock
Overview
Speculation has resurfaced regarding the potential sale of Newcastle United midfielder Joe Willock during the upcoming January transfer window. Despite a positive start to the season under manager Matthias Jaissle, where the 27-year-old has scored two goals in five league appearances, his contract situation remains unresolved. With no extension talks currently underway and his deal set to expire in the summer of 2027, Newcastle may view January as the final opportunity to secure a transfer fee rather than risking a free transfer.
Besiktas president Serdal Adalı has indicated that the Turkish club intends to revisit its pursuit of Willock in January, noting that head coach Vincenzo Italiano is highly interested. Adalı previously noted that Newcastle requested a £20 million fee during failed summer attempts. While reports suggest the player’s family has visited Istanbul, Jaissle has consistently dismissed transfer claims, asserting that Willock remains a “vital part of the squad” and expressing high satisfaction with his performance.
In anticipation of potential difficulties in securing Willock, Besiktas has identified Torino’s Rolando Mandragora as a primary alternative, with Torino reportedly setting a fee of 7.5 million Euros for the 29-year-old.
