Matty Longstaff has a contract offer on the table for him to leave Newcastle United, according to the Chronicle.

Longstaff’s deal at Newcastle has just weeks remaining on it now, and the Magpies still have not agreed new terms.

There are now real fears that he could depart, and Serie A clubs are beginning to step up their interest.

The latest update suggests that one Italian side has put a contract on the table to try and tempt Longstaff away from Newcastle.

If the Magpies were to lose the youngster so early on in his career it would be a major blow.

Not only would Newcastle potentially miss out on a big future fee, but they could lose a talented player, who has proven his worth to their first-team.

Longstaff’s emergence has been one of the real feel-good stories within the Newcastle camp this term, and his departure would cause great frustration around St. James’ Park.
