Newcastle Considers Sean Longstaff Sale Amid Leeds Bids

Leeds United is actively pursuing Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff, having had three bids rejected, the latest being around £12 million, while Newcastle values him closer to £15-17 million. Despite Longstaff's reduced role at Newcastle, where he started only eight Premier League games last season, he remains open to a move to Leeds, who seek Premier League-proven talent to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is reluctant to lose key players without quality replacements but acknowledges the need to trade players to comply with Premier League financial rules. Newcastle is reportedly targeting Atletico Madrid's Conor Gallagher as a potential Longstaff replacement. Newcastle cult hero John Anderson has urged the club not to undervalue Longstaff, stressing the importance of securing a fair transfer fee given his experience. While Newcastle remains firm on the asking price, Leeds is expected to make a fourth bid, with a transfer likely if they meet Newcastle's valuation.
