Newcastle are planning to address their midfield options in 2026, with incomings and departure both expected. 
, Newcastle will face significant competition for Toth, who could be available for a bargain price next summer.
“There is a lot of interest from Bundesliga clubs in the 20-year-old as well. It could be a good option for a number of clubs because of his contract situation as he’s under contract until 2027. So if no new deal is agreed, some of those interested parties could test Ferencvaros’ resolve to keep hold of him in the summer and he might be available for a sort of cut price fee of around £13-15m.
“I think he’s a player that Newcastle will continue to monitor. I don’t think it’s a priority for them right now.”
Should Newcastle sign Alex Toth?
There is little doubt that Newcastle need better midfield depth, despite the addition of Jacob Ramsey in the summer. Howe wants the likes of him and Lewis Miley to push Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton going forward, but so far, there have been questions about their ability to do so.
Toth is already a Hungary international at the age of 20, so he would be very capable of coming in and competing at Newcastle. For now, it remains to be seen whether a deal is sought ahead of next summer.
