Newcastle United would be willing to let Callum Wilson depart from St. James’ Park on a free transfer next summer.
According to a report from Give Me Sport, Newcastle United would be willing to sell Callum Wilson for a nominal price in January. However, they are happy to hold on to him until the end of the 2024/25 season and lose him for free next summer if a January exit is not possible.
Wilson has been a useful player for Newcastle United since joining the club from Bournemouth, and he has scored goals consistently. Even though his availability remains a major problem, there is no doubt that the £110,000-a-week forward is a useful player.
He could improve most teams in the Premier League. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle United can find a suitable destination for him in January. They will need to bring in a quality replacement before letting him leave.
Newcastle United have been overly dependent on Alexander Isak for goals and creativity. The Sweden international needs more support in the final third, and signing another quality forward would be a wise decision. There is no doubt that Newcastle need to bring in an upgrade on Wilson, and they have been linked with a host of names in recent months, including Jonathan David.
Meanwhile, Wilson will be hoping to play regularly at this stage of his career as well. Sitting on the bench at Newcastle as a backup option to Isak will not be ideal for him. He will look to join a club he will play regularly, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Recent reports have linked him with Fulham.
Wilson would be a quality option for many clubs
The Newcastle United striker is a proven performer in the Premier League, and there is unlikely to be any shortage of clubs looking to sign him. He is likely to be available for a reasonable price in January as well. The Englishman will have entered the final six months of his contract in the winter, and clubs could be queuing up to secure his signature on a bargain.
Newcastle United will be hoping to secure Champions League qualification this season, and they need to plug the gaps in their squad during the January window so that they can finish the season strongly. Signing a quality striker and another winger should be a top priority for the side.
Wilson will certainly hope to join a competitive side in the Premier League so that he can showcase his qualities regularly and compete at a high level as well. It will be interesting to see if he can get over his constant injury problems and play regular first-team football in the coming months.
