Overview

  • Jack Rudoni scored 10 goals and provided 13 assists in 50 appearances to earn Coventry City’s 2024–25 Player of the Year award.
  • Newcastle’s interest in Rudoni is reported as conditional on selling Sean Longstaff, with Leeds United’s £12 million bid turned down as Newcastle holds out for around £15 million.
  • Coventry owner Doug King is expected to demand £25 million–£30 million for the 24-year-old midfielder despite Transfermarkt valuing him at about €12 million.
  • Coventry’s development-and-sell model has made Rudoni its most saleable asset after recent profitable exits such as Viktor Gyökeres.
  • UEFA Champions League squad registration limits intensify Newcastle’s need to balance outgoing and incoming transfers before pursuing new signings.
