Newcastle United have taken out a massive £140 million loan to spend on new players.
The Magpies, who are owned by a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium, have to work around Financial Fair Play when they improve their team and facilities.
According to The Sun, the club have negotiated with HSBC to open up a credit facility to allow them income to invest in the team.
The borrowing is secured against future earnings from TV rights and ticket sales.
Newcastle are hoping to build a team that can challenge for the Premier League in the next few years.
The owners have ambitions of eventually bringing the Champions League trophy back to St. James' Park.
