Fabian Schar has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United ahead of the summer transfer window.
Fabian Schar will be out of contract in the summer, and he is yet to sign a new deal with Newcastle United. According to a report by Football Insider, Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe wants the experienced defender to stay at the club beyond this season. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can agree on a short extension with him.
He could be a useful player for them in the short term. Apart from his defensive qualities, his versatility and leadership could prove invaluable. Also, losing a player like him for free would be a major blow for any club.
The opportunity to continue in the Premier League could be exciting for the defender as well. He is in the twilight stages of his career, and he is unlikely to be able to join a bigger club. It would make sense for him to continue at Newcastle, where he is highly valued and competes at a high level. Newcastle have an ambitious project, and they could provide him with the opportunity to compete for trophies.
It remains to be seen whether Newcastle come forward with an extension offer for the player.
Newcastle United need to keep players like Schar
Newcastle are looking to build a formidable team for the future. They will be hoping to compete in the UEFA Champions League regularly and fight for trophies. They need players like Schar at their disposal. The 34-year-old defender is a key member of the first team, and he is likely to get ample opportunities next season as well. He has no reason to leave the club at the end of the season.
Newcastle have looked vulnerable, defensively this season, and they need to tighten up at the back. Holding onto their key players and adding more quality in that area of the pitch would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether they will sort out the future of the 34-year-old defender and bring in young talents to support him.
