Marseille, in turn, could be open to letting the 31-year-old Dane leave. The French club is expected to consider offers in the region of £15–20 million.

Højbjerg is no stranger to English football: the midfielder previously spent several seasons at Tottenham. Now, Newcastle see his experience as a key option in their midfield rebuild.

It's worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, Højbjerg made 43 appearances for Marseille across all competitions, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists.
