Newcastle United Have Reached A Verbal Agreement With Experience Star, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Joelinton, a Brazilian midfield player, and Newcastle United are almost ready to sign a new, long-term deal.

The matter should be effectively handled by the conclusion of the season, since a series of contractual conversations over the last month or two have led to the framework of an agreement being struck with Joelinton and his agents.

Joelinton, a 27-year-old midfield player with only 15 months left on his present deal, had been one of Eddie Howe’s top targets coming into the summer.

Before moving to midfield after a £40 million transfer from German team Hoffenheim, Joelinton had emerged as one of the Magpies’ most important players. However, there had been early concerns that Newcastle’s financial constraints would make it difficult to keep Joelinton.

But it’s believed that both sides have reached an understanding over the parameters of a potential agreement that will make Joelinton one of Newcastle’s highest-paid players and give him a sizable raise over his present salary.

The Brazil international has decided to stay at Tyneside for a another four years, ending any doubts about his future intentions in advance of the transfer window’s reopening later this summer.

Howe, who had dreaded losing one of his squad’s key players during a summer window that is already shaping up to be a busy one in terms of both incomings and outgoings, will be much relieved by his new contract.
