The 4 players who could leave Newcastle right away

Joelinton

Newcastle are not just going to invest now. They paid over 40 million euros for the Brazilian not so long ago and he has been one of the biggest disappointments this time around. At 25, he has made 89 appearances for the Magpies, with a meagre ten goals and eight assists.

Jonjo Shelvey

The former Liverpool player has made 174 appearances for the club and is one of the veterans, although he is still only 29 years old. Shelvey is not assured of a starting place and his departure is seen as a necessary change of direction at the club.

Matt Ritchie

The veteran Scottish midfielder's days at Newcastle are numbered. He is a Premier League and Championship legend, but Newcastle now need a different profile of player. At 32, he is almost certain to leave, even though he has played all of this season.

Jamaal Lascelles

Captain Lascelles has made 193 appearances for Newcastle, yet his place in the new team is not assured. Recent incidents of indiscipline with a teammate have not helped him either.
