Newcastle United have made their stance clear on Will Osula's future, and it's music to the ears of Magpies fans: the young forward isn't going anywhere.
After barely seeing the pitch last season or early this year, the 22-year-old has suddenly become a key piece in Eddie Howe's plans. His recent form—lucky streak or not—has turned heads across Europe, but Newcastle are determined to keep him beyond the summer transfer window.
The interest is real. According to The Daily Mail's Craig Hope, a whole host of clubs have checked in on Osula's availability. That list includes Premier League sides Aston Villa (who had a deal lined up last summer), Everton, and Crystal Palace, plus Bundesliga heavyweights Bayer Leverkusen and even Bayern Munich. Yes, you read that right—Bayern Munich.
This isn't the first time Osula has been in demand. Last summer, a move to Eintracht Frankfurt was reportedly worth around £30 million, but Newcastle pulled the plug at the last minute. Now, with Osula's role growing under Howe—who's expected to stay for the 2026-27 season—the club's thinking has shifted entirely.
One source summed it up perfectly: "We'd be looking to replace Will Osula with Will Osula!" The coaching staff has been impressed by his recent impact and believes there's even more to come. Newcastle's concern is simple: selling the striker, even for a fee reportedly north of £40 million, would create a gap that's tough to fill in today's market—especially given the club's inconsistent track record with transfers.
At the end of the day, Osula might just be the biggest winner here. He's still got three years left on his current deal, but if rival clubs start waving improved terms, you can bet Newcastle will bump up his wages to keep him happy. Good for Will—and good for the Toon Army.
