One of those will likely be Ryan Fraser after he was told to train with the Under-21’s.
Speaking about the reasons for this, Eddie Howe said: “Ryan’s training with the Under-21s. I made the decision to concentrate on players that are committed to Newcastle. For the benefit of the group, I’ve made that call.”
But Fraser is just one of a number of players that could see their time on Tyneside come to an end this summer as Newcastle look to trim their squad ahead of an anticipated summer of spending.
Here, we take a look at 15 players that could leave the club when the summer transfer window opens and six that won’t be sold this summer.
How many of these do you think will leave the club? Follow us on our social media channels and let us know your thoughts.
5. Mark Gillespie
The signing of Loris Karius and the recall of Martin Dubravka from his loan at Manchester United means Gillespie is currently Newcastle’s fourth-choice ‘keeper. Although those ahead of him also have uncertain futures at the club, this summer could signal the end of his three-year stay at the club. Photo: Gualter Fatia
6. Javier Manquillo
The Spaniard has played an important role for Newcastle during his time at the club, however, he has fallen considerably down the pecking order. With Kieran Trippier, Emil Krafth (when fit) and Harrison Ashby all battling for the right-back position, Manquillo may be the one who has to depart the club. Photo: Michael Regan
7. Loris Karius
Karius made his debut in the Carabao Cup final and didn’t put a foot wrong in that highly-pressurised situation. His short-term deal at the club expires at the end of the season and Inter Milan have most recently been linked with a move for the German. Photo: Eddie Keogh
8. Karl Darlow
Darlow is currently on-loan at Championship side Hull City. With Nick Pope and Martin Dubravka battling for the no.1 spot, Darlow may see his best chance of regular football as being away from the club. Photo: Tony Marshall
