Sean Longstaff: Newcastle United Contract Extension
Sean Longstaff has been associated with a potential transfer away from Newcastle United in recent months. The 27-year-old is set to become a free agent in the summer of 2025. Newcastle intends to activate an extension clause in his contract, which would prolong it until the summer of 2026. Journalist Craig Hope disclosed that Longstaff could still be sold even if the extension is activated, as Newcastle might opt to capitalize on his market value in the summer. The club is attempting to safeguard their asset and its valuation but might decide to sell rather than offer a longer-term contract.
Sean Longstaff has conveyed uncertainty regarding his future with Newcastle United, indicating that he wishes to feel 'appreciated' and 'valued' with a new contract. He mentioned being unsure whether a 12-month extension to his current contract, which expires in the summer, has been activated. Longstaff stressed his aspiration to be valued as a player and acknowledged that his future might lie away from Newcastle if he does not feel appreciated.
Newcastle United are prepared to activate the one-year extension clause in the contract of their midfielder Sean Longstaff. Currently, Longstaff's contract, which he signed in 2022 and earns him £50k per week, is set to expire at the end of this season. According to Telegraph reporter Luke Edwards, Newcastle is ready to trigger the extension clause. Discussions are continuing regarding a new long-term agreement to ensure Longstaff remains under contract beyond the summer.
