He has proven in the Premier League that he is direct, quick and dangerous when attacking from the left.<\/p>\n<p>He also poses a real goal threat, something Unai Emery always rates in a wide player.<\/p>\n<p>Barnes joined Newcastle from Leicester City in 2023 on a five-year deal thought to be around \u00a338m, with his contract still running until 2028.<\/p>\n<p>His numbers show why Villa are interested. In the 2025\/26 season, Barnes played 55 games in all competitions and scored 16 goals, including seven in the Premier League and six in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>He has now scored 30 goals in 118 games during his Newcastle career, but it was a strong return for the winger who was not necessarily guaranteed a starting spot.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Newcastle_are_expected_to_demand_a_hefty_transfer_fee\"><\/span>Newcastle are expected to demand a hefty transfer fee.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The challenge for Villa will be fees. Newcastle are not in a weak negotiating position, especially after the financial cushion they have gained from the sale of Gordon.<\/p>\n<p>Barnes is experienced, local, and only 28 years old, so they weren&#8217;t going to let him go lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Barnes would be a smart but somewhat expensive option for Aston Villa. He will add pace, end product and Premier League experience without requiring a long adaptation period.<\/p>\n<p>For Newcastle, the decision will depend on their attacking plan. If Barnes is still a central part of Howe&#8217;s team, they should keep him.<\/p>\n<p>However, if a new signing arrives and his role diminishes, it may be wise to sell him for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Report: Newcastle United target Spaniard to replace Anthony Gordon <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aston Villa are reportedly considering Harvey Barnes as a potential summer signing, making it a logical move for both parties.According to Football Insider, the Newcastle United winger&#8217;s future is far from certain, with Villa emerging as one of the clubs monitoring his situation ahead of the new season.
