Player pictured at airport as Newcastle agree loan move – Full details on latest exit

But this season is different: we’ve earned over £30m this year from the sales of Lloyd Kelly, Sean Longstaff and Martin Dubravka, and significantly reduced the wage bill with Callum Wilson, Jamal Lewis and Isaac Hayden’s departures.

And business isn’t over just yet, as another notable name is now all-but-confirmed to be leaving this summer on loan.

It’s a move that makes financial sense, and avoids frustration amongst the squad as competition for places gets more intense ahead of the upcoming season , especially after Aaron Ramsdale’s arrival.

Images have circulated of goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos landing in Spain ahead of proposed loan move to former Europa League winners Sevilla.

The deal is expected to be a straight loan that includes no option or obligation to buy, with Newcastle set to cover the majority of the Greek international’s wages.

The 31-year-old has made just a single competitive appearance for Newcastle since his PSR-driven arrival from Nottingham Forest last summer, which saw Elliot Anderson head in the opposite direction.

Vlachodimos was reportedly adamant about staying in Europe this season, for both the sake of his family and with the World Cup on the horizon. He had previously rejected a loan opportunity at Pumas in Mexico because of this.

After losing his place as the national team’s No. 1, Vlachodimos will be eager to play and impress in Spain to win back his place ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Sevilla will be a big test for the former Benfica star however, as they were very nearly relegated from La Liga last season, only just surviving in 17th place.

According to The Athletic, it’s a straight loan with no option to buy. Whilst neither part of the deal is really ideal for us, it makes practical sense from a PSR-perspective.

Because of how much we spent on him last June, it would have a negative impact on our finances (from a PSR standpoint) to sell him for a massive loss so soon after his arrival.

Overall, this is our ninth departure of 2025, a clear sign that the club is starting to get ruthless from a financial point-of-view, opting for a smaller squad to keep ourselves in a healthy position for PSR and to make the big name signings.
