Newcastle United may wake up in dreamland sometime in the near future, but that’s only if their prospective takeover passes the Premier League bar and gets actually confirmed.
Amanda Staveley is leading the consortium which is well-backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund as well as the Reuben brothers, though, it has been well over a month since these reports first emerged.

Now the club are being linked to every superstar and his dog as if the takeover has already happened. One name that continues to be mentioned is Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.
Sky Sports claim the prospective owners would like to land the 28-year-old colossus should the top-flight big wigs ratify their takeover, and the Serie A colossus could be keen.
They also suggest that Koulibaly is valued at €80m (£69.8m).
