Football Digest: Newcastle reaping rewards from transfer strategy<\/h3>\n

Newcastle could reportedly have their January move for Ruben Neves hijacked by Premier League rivals. The Magpies are hoping to bring Neves in on a short-term loan deal until the end of the season from Al-Hilal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Portuguese superstar only moved to the Saudi Pro League side in the summer but he could be back in the Premier League just six months after leaving Wolves for \u00a347million. Newcastle need a replacement midfielder for Sandro Tonali, who has been banned for ten months for betting and have identified Neves as an ideal option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the Mirror\u00a0claim the move is likely to cause consternation among fellow Premier League clubs, as Newcastle are currently free to trade with Al-Hilal despite both being owned by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF). PIF has an 80 per cent stake in Newcastle and a 75\u00a0 per cent share of\u00a0Al-Hilal,\u00a0Al-Nassr,\u00a0Al-Ittihad, and\u00a0Al-Ahli\u00a0with the remaining 25 per cent controlled by a non-profit organisation.<\/p>\n

Other top-flight English clubs may push the Premier League to bring in sanctions to stop Newcastle from having free reign over the Middle East’s biggest stars.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have already done business with PIF-owned clubs. The Magpies sold Allan Saint-Maximin to the Al-Ahli in the summer for around \u00a325m, without restrictions in place to stop them.<\/p>\n

Director of Football Dan Ashworth said: \u201cThe current rules and regulations say there is nothing to stop it. Currently. There is a potential that the various different organisations will look at things across related parties and what you can do to acquire players at a fair market value.\u201d<\/p>\n
