The 24-year-old goalkeeper joins on a five-year deal after Newcastle met his release clause, adding competition for the No. 1 spot.
- On Monday, Newcastle United confirmed the signing of Czech goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek from Braga on a five-year contract after activating his £25.7m release clause.

- Newcastle United sporting director Ross Wilson stated, "His progress in recent years has been remarkable and he has firmly established himself as one of Europe's top young goalkeepers," as Hornicek joined the squad in Spain.
- Incoming head coach Matthias Jaissle approved the transfer in La Manga over the weekend, a decision that puts pressure on Nick Pope's position in the squad.
- Hornicek becomes Newcastle's fifth summer signing, joining a squad undergoing significant rebuild as attention shifts to captain Bruno Guimaraes and speculation surrounding his potential move to Arsenal.
