Diame could leave Newcastle

Mohamed Diame could be on his way out of Newcastle this summer, with the midfielder out of contract in July and having failed to trigger a one-year extension. The 31-year-old has been in negotiations with Newcastle for some time, but the two parties have been unable to agree on the length of his contract extension.

Diame has wanted a new two-year deal at St James’ Park, but Newcastle have been unwilling to offer him more than one and now the Senegalese international nears an exit in the coming weeks. He made 103 appearances in all competitions since joining from Hull City in 2016, scoring and creating 11 goals.
