Football finance expert Kieran Maguire claims Newcastle could be set for an entirely different summer transfer window if they stay in the Premier League.
The current transfer blueprint has seen Eddie Howe's side target proven Premier League players with Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood the first through the door at St. James' Park.
The Magpies have been linked with loan moves for Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard in recent days, while speculation linking them with James Tarkoswki still being reported.
Newcastle are expected to step up negotiations with Sevilla for Diego Carlos before the transfer window closes and there could be one or two surprises before their next Premier League fixture with Everton.
The Toon have also been linked with moves for upcoming young talent across Europe, the likes of Hugo Ekitike and Dusan Vlahovic, although the latter of those two is being touted for a mega move to Juventus and Arsenal.
Maguire believes that Newcastle are more likely to splash the cash next summer on younger talents, if they ensure Premier League survival.
“It’s a rational policy to take at the moment given the nature of the signings," he told Football Insider.
“They aren’t young players. If Newcastle avoid relegation, when they start to recruit this summer, they will be looking for younger players.
“They will be looking for younger players, more high-profile players, players on higher transfer fees. It will look radically different, I expect.
“These wages are very good wages for the players considering the transfer fees.
“For a £20m signing, you’d usually be looking around the £50,000-a-week mark.”
