Here are the latest Newcastle United transfer rumours on Monday, July 4.

RB Leipzig braced for Haidara and Adams departures

Newcastle were first linked with a move for Amadou Haidara during last season following the takeover of the club. Although, a move for the RB Leipzig man was not forthcoming and Bruno Guimaraes was added to the midfield instead.

The 32-time Mali international has been linked with the same move again this summer as Eddie Howe looks to add defensive midfield cover to his squad. BILD in Germany have reported that Leipzig are braced for his exit as rumours linking him to a handful of teams continue to circulate.

They are also said to be preparing for life without Tyler Adams who is reportedly being lined up as part of Leeds United's post-Kalvin Phillips contingency plan.
