Newcastle United transfers: Several Newcastle players are set to leave the club this summer.

Newcastle United have several players at the end of their contracts at the club this summer.

Kieran Trippier has already announced he will be departing the club once his current deal expires on June 30. John Ruddy is also set to leave upon the end of his contract.

But there is less certainty over the likes of Fabian Schar and Emil Krafth, who are currently set to become free agents in the summer. Both players are currently out injured, Schar is hoping to be back in the coming weeks while Krafth has been out since November with a serious knee injury and won’t feature again this season.

With his contract just two months away from expiring, a further hint into Krafth’s future dropped via the Newcastle property market this month.

Emil Krafth’s house up for sale

The Newcastle defender’s six-bedroom home is currently on the market for just under £2million. It is being sold by the property management company that currently owns the home rather than the player himself.

The listing coincides with Krafth’s potential departure from Newcastle this summer as he is set to become a free agent.

Coincidentally, the Sweden international just so happens to be neighbours with fellow out-of-contract Newcastle defender, Fabian Schar, whose home remains off the market.

More players set to leave NUFC

Other players out of contract at Newcastle this summer include fourth-choice goalkeeper Mark Gillespie and current Middlesbrough loanee Matt Targett.

When asked for an update on Newcastle’s out-of-contract players earlier this month, head coach Eddie Howe said: “No update on any other contract situation for us. Lots of unknowns for us going forward. So we'll make those decisions when we do.”

European qualification could dictate whether the likes of Krafth and Schar are offered new deals at Newcastle. But with the side currently sitting 14th in the table with four games left to play, Europe is unlikely.

Newcastle have missed Schar in his injury absence and the defender has previously expressed a desire to stay at the club. Meanwhile, Krafth has had interest from club on the continent but has remained at Newcastle to play a bit-part squad role.
