Although we’re still in the early stages of the 2023-24 season, several Newcastle United players already look likely to leave St James’ Park this summer, whether that be because of their contracts expiring or a lack of playing time.
As tends to be the case in football, every transfer window, particularly in the summer, sees players move on to pastures new.
The summer window gone was no different for the Magpies as they bid farewell to the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin and Karl Darlow, while Ryan Fraser, Jamal Lewis, Isaac Hayden, Jeff Hendrick, Harrison Ashby and Garang Kuol were among those to depart on loan.
Here, NewcastleWorld takes a look at the players that could leave Newcastle in 2024:
1. Mark Gillespie
The fourth-choice goalkeeper signed a one-year contract extension in the summer. Hasn’t made a first-team appearance for three years.
2. Loris Karius
Karius too agreed to a new one-year contract in the summer but his only competitive appearance for the club remains the Carabao Cup final.
3. Paul Dummett
Dummett is again out of contract at the end of the campaign, although it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him stay put with Howe very impressed with his professionalism and leadership.
4. Emil Krafth
Krafth spent over 12 months on the sidelines with an ACL injury and in that time has naturally fallen down the pecking order behind Kieran Trippier and Tino Livramento.
