The player has caught the attention of several scouts as other clubs prepare for a potentially active transfer window.

Across the season 25/26, Newcastle have let in 51 goals in 35 (1.46 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Mio Backhaus would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season.
