“SHOCKING EXIT: Newcastle’s Biggest Star DITCHES Club in Scandalous Contract Fiasco!”
May could mark the start of Callum Wilson’s farewell at Newcastle United.
Callum Wilson joined Newcastle United from Bournemouth in 2020 and has been a strong performer when fit.
However, his time at St James’ Park has been marred by recurring injuries, which have often sidelined him.
The emergence of Alexander Isak has also limited Wilson’s game time, and with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, his future at the club is uncertain.
Wilson has reportedly been told he must prove his worth to earn a new deal.
If he can stay fit, the 33-year-old would be a sensible backup option for Isak, especially with Newcastle set for European competition next season.
As a proven Premier League goal scorer, retaining him could still provide value.
However, recent developments suggest his time at the club may be nearing an end.
According to The Daily Mail, a report by Craig Hope revealed that Wilson’s contract included a clause tied to appearances.
If he reached a certain number, an automatic extension would have been triggered.
Despite playing 19 matches this season, he is not expected to meet the required total to activate the clause.
Newcastle are already preparing for life without him. While Wilson has spent much of his career under Eddie Howe and could still offer experience, his injury history is a persistent concern.
Regardless of Wilson’s situation, the club is expected to pursue a new striker in the summer to ease the load on Isak, who will be stretched further with European fixtures.
Will Osula is a potential option, but he remains largely unproven. Newcastle are also showing interest in Liam Delap, who impressed during his loan spell with Ipswich.
The young forward may well be lined up as Wilson’s long-term replacement at St. James’ Park.
