According to The Sun, Newcastle United midfielder Matty Longstaff is ready to sign a long-term extension if owner Mike Ashley’s 13-year reign at Saint James’ Park ends.
The 20-year-old has a few months left on the £850-per-week contract he signed in 2018, his first as a pro, and renewal talks broke down prior to the suspension of footballing activities due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Both club and player haven’t been able to reach an agreement on what terms for a new deal should be like, and with a takeover underway, Longstaff is happy to wait till the new owners arrive before talks resume.
