For Fraser and Lascelles, Newcastle may be “Open to Offers”

Even though Jamaal Lascelles’ contract was extended a few months ahead of the summer transfer window, Newcastle United “will be open to offers” for him. Journalist Ben Jacobs has told GIVEMESPORT that Ryan Fraser, who spent the season on loan with Southampton, may also complete a permanent departure from St. James’ Park.

Head coach Eddie Howe’s team may undergo a makeover before the 2024–25 season begins as Magpies chief executive Darren Eales has acknowledged that outgoings will need to be approved because they could violate the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations.

Having reached a £305 million agreement with Newcastle’s then-owner Mike Ashley in October 2021, the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund completed the takeover of the team. They are currently in charge of

plans following a disappointing season in which they were unable to fight for Champions League qualifying.

Despite financial difficulties, Howe wants to maintain Lascelles’ leadership qualities.
According to the Northern Echo, Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles is celebrating Howe’s decision to activate a 12-month extension spelled out in the central defender’s contract earlier this month. However, Newcastle is aware that potential suitors may try to test their resolve when the transfer window reopens.

The captain of the Magpies, who has played in 25 games across all competitions this season, is said to have maintained his influence both on and off the field in spite of Besiktas’s efforts to draw him away from St. James’ Park in the early months of 2024.

Lascelles fell behind Sven Botman and Fabian Schar in the Newcastle backline pecking order, which made the Turkish giants notice him as a target. Despite having the chance to tie him down to a pre-contract agreement before his one-year extension, they were unable to get a deal over the finish line.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano had earlier told GIVEMESPORT that Newcastle was willing to cash in on Lascelles in the final days of the winter window, but by the deadline, proposals had fallen short of their expectations, so Lascelles stayed on Tyneside for the rest of the season.

Fraser has acknowledged as of late

that he wishes to stay longer at Southampton after joining the Championship’s front-runners on a season-long loan in August. He is keen to confirm the move to the south coast since he is in need of regular playing time after falling out of favor on Tyneside.

Following the disappointment of being relegated the previous season, Russell Martin’s Saints are now in the running to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking thanks in large part to the 29-year-old Scotland international, who is paid roughly £70,000 per week.

Given their final Premier League spot, Jacobs thinks Newcastle will be willing to let go of Lascelles when the transfer window reopens in the summer. Howe, eager to keep his leadership qualities, may be compelled to part ways with the £55,000-per-week earner.

The reputable reporter has declined to rule out the prospect of Fraser following the 30-year-old out the door. After being pursued in January, players like Bruno Guimaraes, Callum Wilson, and Kieran Trippier may also receive offers.

“I believe that in the summer, Newcastle will consider outgoings. Lascelles is a highly regarded player who also provides leadership off the field, so I don’t believe his contract was just extended in order to sell him.

“However, I believe Newcastle’s hand may be forced a little bit, so they will be open to bids, depending on where they finish in the Premier League.

“Another name that might go is Ryan Fraser. In terms of Newcastle’s outgoings, I believe we may also revisit the names that were stated in January.”

Newcastle Worried Isak Might Leave in the Summer? Alexander Isak celebrates his team’s goal.
According to GIVEMESPORT sources, Newcastle is worried that Alexander Isak will draw a lot of attention in the summer, and Arsenal

are the most probable candidates to put their determination to the test, as Mikel Arteta, the head of the Gunners, is looking to enhance Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus after another attempt to win the Premier League.

The north Londoners are reportedly longtime fans of the Sweden international and made an attempt to sign him before the Magpies did when he left Real Sociedad in August 2022. However, despite their genuine interest in bringing him to the Emirates Stadium, they have not made a formal approach.

Howe will have hope in repelling interest from the Gunners since Isak, their summer target, has not indicated that he wants to leave Newcastle, despite Arsenal’s push to sign him in a deal worth up to £80 million.capital and retain him as one of his choices going into the 2024–2025 season.
