Newcastle named among clubs monitoring Everton's Barry
The situation
The story today amounts to interest, nothing firmer. Newcastle United are named among several clubs said to be monitoring Everton's Thierno Barry, the 24-year-old France attacker, with the January 2027 window in mind. That window opens on 1 January and shuts on 1 February. Barry joined Everton on 9 July 2025 for €30m from Villarreal and has 30 months left on his deal when the window opens, so there is no pressure on Everton to let him go.
The reporting
The sourcing here is slight. Fussball News reported that Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Como are watching Barry, and that report was carried by CaughtOffside by 9 November. No trusted reporter has backed it, and every outlet carrying it is a tabloid or an aggregator. It is one claim, relayed, describing interest and nothing more.
The outlook
This is a longshot. Nobody has reported a bid, an asking price or talks, only that clubs are keeping an eye on him. For this to become real, Newcastle would need to make an actual approach, Everton would need a reason to sell a player they bought little over a year ago, and a fee would need to be found. None of that is close.
What happens next
What would change it is simple: a concrete bid from Newcastle, or word that Everton are willing to listen in January. Crystal Palace are also linked, which could firm the picture up. Until something beyond monitoring is reported, this is a watching brief.
Thierno Barry’s real transfer fees, for context, not a prediction.
