Leeds United failed with a third bid to sign Sean Longstaff from Newcastle United as The Whites tabled an initial \u00a310m, plus \u00a32m more in add-ons, only to receive a firm no.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interest in Longstaff<\/a> is nothing new from Leeds<\/a> and certainly, during Daniel Farke\u2019s<\/a> era as manager. The 27-year-old midfielder is now in the final year of his contract and The Toon need to make some sales.<\/p>\n

Longstaff represents pure profit in the eyes of PSR. However, Newcastle\u2019s qualification for the Champions League also means the midfielder represents a homegrown option when it comes to registration rules.<\/p>\n

As things stand, it is unclear if Leeds will return with a fourth offer for the midfielder. Graeme Bailey has told LeedsUnited.News<\/strong> that he expects Leeds to do so<\/a>, but the feeling at Leeds is a move is unlikely<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the decision will come down to Longstaff. The player is understood to want to move, but is not kicking up a fuss given Newcastle is his boyhood club and he is happy to remain if that is the case.<\/p>\n

The Athletic<\/a> discusses Longstaff\u2019s future after Leeds\u2019 bid. They say that the Newcastle board often debates Longstaff\u2019s future \u2013 whether he stays or leaves for Leeds \u2013 and the advantages and disadvantages of that.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, any bid received for Longstaff is yet to convince Newcastle it is worth selling. But, The Athletic say that the \u2018expectation\u2019 is that will change as the summer goes on, with the need to sell likely to go up.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that Newcastle need a big squad after a return to Europe, but he is in real danger of failing even to make a matchday squad. Newcastle boast one of the best midfield trios in England.<\/p>\n

Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes. A mixture of physicality, guile, technique \u2013 the Toon trio have all that is required to shine in the Premier League<\/a>. Behind them as first reserve is \u00a325m man Joe Willock.<\/p>\n

Then, it is Toon academy products Longstaff and Lewis Miley, with preference likely to go to the latter given he is a teenager. Newcastle also want to sign England star Conor Gallagher<\/a> from Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

If Gallagher arrives at Newcastle, then it pushes Longstaff down the pecking order even further. It is not even a guarantee that Gallagher starts, meaning Longstaff has no chance. If he wants to play, he must go.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United failed with a third bid to sign Sean Longstaff from Newcastle United as The Whites tabled…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":263625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,33583,100,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-263624","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-sean-longstaff","13":"tag-transfer-news","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114850360600359474","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/263625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
