Rafael Benitez is out of contract at Newcastle United this summer.
Over the years, Newcastle have signed talented and promising young players with a view to selling them for a higher price later after they have impressed for the first team.
The report in The Northern Echo has claimed that club owner Ashley’s determination that Newcastle should continue to prioritise the recruitment of young players is causing friction amid uncertainly over the future of club manager Rafael Benitez.
Future uncertain
Benitez is out of contract at Newcastle this summer, and no new deal is in place at the moment.
The St. James’ Park faithful will want the future of the Spaniard to be resolved, as he is very popular among the Newcastle fans and have done a truly great job at the Magpies.
If Benitez does not sign a new contract, then it is going to be hard for Newcastle to find a manager who is as good as he is.
