Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

His current contract with the Premier League club expires in the summer of 2025 and there have been rumours that he could be sold in the summer. However, a report from Football Insider claims that Newcastle are now planning to hold contract talks with him and they want to renew his deal.

It remains to be seen whether the Magpies can secure an agreement with the player and his representatives. The Newcastle Academy graduate is reportedly keen on staying at his boy club, and he is ready to sign a new contract with the club. Both parties are confident that an agreement can be reached soon.

Longstaff has been a useful player for Newcastle and keeping him at the club for the long term could prove to be a wise decision. Newcastle are already lacking in depth when it comes to the midfield department and they cannot afford to let a reliable performer like him leave for a nominal price in the summer.

Sean Longstaff might seek game time assurances

Longstaff has been a regular starter for this season and he has started 30 matches across all competitions for them this season. The 26-year-old will be hoping to hold down a regular starting spot at his boyhood club, and he might seek gametime assurance before signing a new contract.

Newcastle have an ambitious project and they are one of the wealthiest clubs around. They are likely to bring in top quality players in the coming seasons as well and Longstaff will not want to sit on the bench as a backup option.

The 26-year-old is at the peak of his powers and he needs to play regularly. Newcastle will have to provide him with necessary assurances in order to convince him to extend his deal.

Even if Newcastle plan to sell the player in the near future, extending his contract now would be a wise decision. With just one year left on his deal, he would have been a cheap acquisition for another club in the summer. With the new contract signed, Newcastle will be able to demand a premium for him.
