Amidst Dwight Gayle, Fabian Schar and Paul Dummett's new deals with Newcastle United, Federico Fernandez, and Jacob Murphy contracts are the heaviest. With its star defender’s contract to expire Steve Bruce takes up measures to avoiding losing Fernandez, 32, against the common interest. Winger Murphy is taken back to continue his last pre-season performance for the home team after the loan.
The 26-year Murphy was exceptional last season while Gayle was still lesser part compensating Callum Wilson’s injury making his contract attractive to the United fans. Schar recovering from Switzerland’s Euro 2020 campaign and Dummett’s long-term interest contracts are obviously preparations by the Magpies to put up an attractive front in the next season among many other things to sort out at the St James’ Park.
