Newcastle United Accept Sean Longstaff Offer as D-Day Approaches for Midfielder

ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 8 – Newcastle accepted a £12 million offer due to Longstaff's expiring contract and limited playtime, while Leeds aims to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season.

  • Newcastle United accepted a £12m offer from Leeds United for 27-year-old midfielder Sean Longstaff in early July 2025.
  • Leeds sought Longstaff because he has Premier League experience and entered the last year of his Newcastle contract, risking a free transfer.
  • Longstaff lost his place in Newcastle's starting lineup since December 2024, while Leeds made three signings and want him as their fourth summer recruit.
  • Eddie Howe said Longstaff controls his future, and the midfielder told Chronicle Live, "Sometimes you have to go away to show your value."
  • The transfer would provide Newcastle with a profit for Profit and Sustainability rules and assure Longstaff guaranteed game time at Leeds.
