Newcastle United's Saint-Maximin Sale Ensures Premier League Satisfaction
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe assures that the potential sale of Allan Saint-Maximin to Al Ahli will be conducted properly and in compliance with Premier League regulations. Concerns have been raised by other clubs about the deal, as Al Ahli is owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which also owns 80% of Newcastle. There are claims that the PIF link is being used to inflate the transfer fee and help Newcastle comply with financial fair play rules. Howe remains hopeful about signing midfielder Harvey Barnes from Leicester and potentially having him join the club's pre-season tour to the US.
