Newcastle United has named Paul Mitchell as their new sporting director, and his first major assignment will apparently be to evaluate the present group, with a potential mass exodus on the way.
The Athletic reports that twelve players are nearing the end of their contracts, including Callum Wilson, Kieran Trippier, and Fabian Schar.
According to the Athletic, Newcastle has considered exit routes for many players, including Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, Kieran Trippier, and Emil Krafth. However, no contracts have been confirmed for these players as yet.
Meanwhile, Ryan Fraser is allegedly set to return to Southampton following a successful loan spell with the club last season.
The manager plans to inform Fraser, Isaac Hayden, and Jamal Lewis that if they do not find new clubs quickly, they will train with the U21 team.
This strategy emphasizes Howe’s desire to segregate those who are not in his plans from the rest of the group.
Beyond handling prospective exits, Mitchell must ensure Newcastle does not lose any key players.
There is a lot of interest in Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak, both of whom are important to Newcastle’s goals. The team is determined to keep these players as they prepare for the future.
