Since the summer, former Salzburg manager Matthias Jaissle has been working at Newcastle United. The German has already strengthened his squad with his former Salzburg protégé Amar Dedic.

Now the club is reportedly targeting another former ADMIRAL Bundesliga player. According to "The i Paper", Newcastle United are closely monitoring Dinamo Zagreb's Dion Beljo (24).

The former Rapid player has impressed with 19 goals and nine assists in 20 matches this season. According to "TeamTalk", Newcastle United are not the only suitors, with the outlet listing Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Brighton, Brentford, and Leeds as other interested parties.

Long-term contract

Beljo currently has an estimated market value of 15 million euros. However, with a contract running until 2030, the Croatian side are expected to demand a fee above that figure.

Beljo played for Rapid on loan from Augsburg during the 2024/25 season. In the summer of 2025, Dinamo signed him for a reported fee of four million euros.
