Newcastle United could look to capitalize on Manchester City's potential relegation by targeting key players from the Etihad Stadium, according to transfer speculation. The scenario, while hypothetical, has prompted discussion about which City stars might become available if the club drops out of the Premier League.

One name frequently mentioned is Belgium winger Jeremy Doku, who has featured prominently for City in recent Champions League campaigns. The 22-year-old's pace and dribbling ability would suit Newcastle's attacking style under Eddie Howe.

Other potential targets could include midfielders and defenders who might seek to remain in the top flight, though no specific names have been confirmed. Any such moves would depend on City's actual league status and the players' contractual situations.
