Jacob Ramsey joined Newcastle<\/a> to add greater depth in the middle of the park, but there was an attempt to bring one more central player in.<\/p>\n When Sandro Tonali and Joelinton sustained injuries against Liverpool, there were fears that the Magpies were going to have to bring in another body.<\/p>\n Newcastle moved for Davide Frattesi<\/a> on loan, but he was not the only midfielder who was on the club\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n That is according to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, who has told Geordie Boot Boys that Atletico Madrid\u2019s Conor Gallagher was considered by Newcastle<\/a> as well as Frattesi.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were enquiries made for Davide Frattesi,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cI think there were enquiries made for a few midfielders, to be honest. Conor Gallagher was one.<\/p>\n \u201cIn an ideal world, the perfect transfer window would have seen Newcastle bring another midfielder in, especially when it looked like Sandro Tonali and Joelinton were seriously injured.<\/p>\n \u201cGallagher\u2019s representatives were touching base with a few clubs. He was linked to Manchester United as well. It would have been a loan deal, and Newcastle were one of those sides involved at the enquiry stage.\u201d<\/p>\n Conor Gallagher would have been a great Sean Longstaff replacement<\/p>\n![\"Conor](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2232908407-1024x683.jpg\")
