Newcastle United’s Matty Longstaff is out of contract this summer.

Newcastle United youngster Matty Longstaff could depart the club for a bargain fee after receiving an offer from abroad, the Chronicle report.

The 19-year-old’s contract at the club expires this coming summer.

The Chronicle claimed two weeks ago that Longstaff had been attracting interest from abroad. Due to his contract situation, he could walk away with Newcastle receiving just £400,000 in compensation should he join a European club.

Inter Milan and AC Milan have both been linked by The Times.

But the Chronicle claim the European club, possibly Marseille who are cited in the report, have quietly been going about their business and are keen for the player to join up with them this summer.

Longstaff has made just six Premier League appearances this season.

The midfielder’s most notable contribution came in the 1-0 victory over Manchester United as he netted a superb 20-yard winner at St James’ Park.

Newcastle are seemingly keen to keep Longstaff at the club. However, no new contract talks have been planned and his situation has alerted clubs abroad.

Longstaff has plenty of potential and Newcastle are his boyhood club.

But the midfielder may want assurances over his playing time moving forward if he is to pen a new long-term deal at the club.
