Newcastle suffered a heavy Champions League exit after a one-sided second leg at Camp Nou. Barcelona won 7-2, progressing 8-3 on aggregate.
Night to forget at Camp Nou
The match swung wildly in the first half. Anthony Elanga scored twice to give Newcastle hope when the tie was 2-2.
Lamine Yamal struck a stoppage-time penalty before half-time. Barcelona then added four second-half goals.
Raphinha, Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski (two) completed the rout. Eddie Howe’s side were overwhelmed in the closing 45 minutes.
Arsenal targets Newcastle duo
Arsenal have identified two Newcastle players as summer targets. The Gunners have been tracking Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento.
Livramento is viewed as a long-term right-back solution. Ben White’s injury record has forced Arsenal to pursue reinforcements.
The 23-year-old right-back is under contract until 2028. He is valued at above £60 million and that figure could rise.
Tonali is being considered for midfield depth. Fabrizio Romano and other outlets say Manchester City and Man United are also interested.
Reports and reactions
Mark Douglas provided an update on these developments. He confirmed Arsenal are genuine admirers of both players.
Douglas added that Tonali has attracted interest from several top clubs. City and United are among the suitors named.
Bruno and Man United developments
Reports claimed Manchester United were in advanced talks for Bruno Guimaraes. Newcastle sources told Filmogaz.com they were surprised by those claims.
Bruno was in Spain to support teammates and to progress his recovery. Sources said there were no advanced talks and no imminent departure.
Summer outlook for Newcastle
With Champions League football gone and a league campaign that fell short of top-four, the summer could be disruptive. Arsenal, City and Man United are circling Newcastle’s best players.
Newcastle face a difficult window to retain their core. The club must prepare for a significant fight to keep its squad together.
