Newcastle United eye Roma defender Evan Ndicka

Newcastle United have placed Evan Ndicka under close observation ahead of the summer window, evaluating a possible move. Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and Olympique Marseille also monitor the 26‑year‑old centre‑back. No club has opened formal discussions with AS Roma’s hierarchy. Ndicka arrived on a free transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt in summer 2023, meaning any sale would generate pure profit for AS Roma. The club must balance its books while investing in Champions League preparations. Coach Gasperini values Ndicka highly and has expressed no desire to lose him. Ndicka featured in a UEFA Europa League 2025/26 Round of 16 First Leg match against Bologna FC 1909 on 12 March 2026 at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara. In that game Santiago Castro of Bologna was challenged by Ndicka. The action was captured by photographer Alessandro Sabattini for Getty Images. Interest is expected to intensify in the coming weeks, and the next few days could decide whether Ndicka remains at the Olimpico or becomes the centre of a competitive transfer battle.
