Newcastle United faces a significant setback in their goalkeeping department as key player Nick Pope suffered a dislocated shoulder in their recent 1-0 victory against Manchester United. According to a report by 90min, Newcastle anticipates Pope’s return in April, pending a decision on whether he will undergo surgery later this week.

While there are speculations linking the club to Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale, any potential move in the January transfer window seems unlikely, given Arsenal’s reluctance to permit an exit before the season concludes.

Despite having backup Martin Dubravka ready to step in, Newcastle has been presented with an alternative solution involving David De Gea.

It’s worth noting that De Gea expresses a preference for his next club to be in Europe, ideally competing in the Champions League. Stay tuned for updates on Newcastle’s goalkeeping situation and potential moves in the coming weeks.
