Newcastle United want Yangel Herrera

Newcastle United are setting their sights on Girona’s Yangel Herrera as they prepare for a major midfield shake-up ahead of the summer transfer window. According to reports from Fichajes, the Magpies are ready to table a €25 million offer for the Venezuelan international in a bid to test the Spanish club’s resolve.

Eddie Howe Targets Midfield Reinforcement

Eddie Howe is keen to inject fresh energy into his midfield options, especially with the prospect of European football next season. Herrera, who just concluded his most impressive La Liga campaign to date, has caught the eye with his box-to-box dynamism and creative influence for high-flying Girona.

Having been snapped up by Manchester City back in 2017, Herrera has quietly built a strong reputation in Spain, showcasing his versatility and maturity across midfield roles. Now 27, he appears ready for a Premier League return—with Newcastle leading the charge.

Magpies Face Competition for Herrera’s Signature

Newcastle aren’t alone in their pursuit. Atletico Madrid and Nottingham Forest are also monitoring the South American midfielder, but Champions League qualification could give the Magpies a decisive edge in convincing Herrera to make the move to St. James’ Park.

With two years left on his current deal, Girona may consider cashing in this summer—especially if Newcastle follow through with their €25 million offer.

Midfield Overhaul on the Cards

Herrera is one of several targets on Howe’s radar, with Lazio’s Matteo Guendouzi also being heavily linked. Despite plans for new arrivals, the club remains committed to retaining key figures like Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali.

A big summer awaits Newcastle United—and Yangel Herrera could be one of the first names through the door.
