A list of all the Newcastle United players whose contracts will run out in 2024.
Newcastle United have once again established themselves as a top Premier League and European club, with the Magpies fighting at the right end of the top-flight table, as well as making a mark in the Champions League too.
A lot of that can be put down to the efforts of Eddie Howe, who has transformed the fortunes of Newcastle ever since taking charge. The English coach has taken the North East outfit from perennial strugglers in the league and turned them into a side competing for trophies and continental football season after season.
A remarkable turnaround, given their struggles with relegation in the past, but of course, some credit also has to be given to the investment from Newcastle’s new owners. Ever since taking over from Mike Ashley in 2021, the Saudi Arabian owners have splashed close to £340 million on fresh talent in just four transfer windows.
Not afraid to put their money where their mouth is, the likes of Sandro Tonali, Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes have all joined the Premier League outfit since the takeover was completed. While the trio may be some of the biggest names in European football, Newcastle have experienced quite a large turnover in their squad, with plenty of deadwood having been allowed to leave.
And that is a trend which looks as if it might continue this season, with eight senior players out of contract in the summer.
Emil Krafth
A Swedish international with over 40 caps, Emil Krafth – signed from Amiens for £5m – boasts plenty of experience in the professional game, but at this point, his Newcastle career looks dead in the water and is surely heading towards an exit from St James’ Park.
Javier Manquillo
From one man who might struggle to get into the first-team squad, to a player who has currently been frozen out altogether.
Javier Manquillo last played minutes in a senior match for Newcastle back in May of last season, when he mustered up just 60 seconds on the pitch during a clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The arrival of Kieran Trippier had seen Manquillo’s game time slashed, but his place in the pecking order was worsened this summer when Tino Livramento secured his own St. James’ Park switch. Chances of a Newcastle revival before his contract expires for Manquillo remain slim, if not borderline impossible. Signed for around £4.5m, the Spaniard could now leave for nothing.
Mark Gillespie
Loris Karius
Matt Ritchie

Jamaal Lascelles
Fabian Schar
Another one of Newcastle’s stars from the PSG victory, Fabian Schar broke the internet with his long-range strike in the 91st minute against the record French champions.
