Newcastle have released Vurnon Anita while opening talks with Yoan Gouffran over a new contract.
The versatile Anita, signed from Ajax in the summer of 2012, made 27 Championship appearances last season as the Magpies secured promotion back to the top flight.
But the 28-year-old Dutchman, who was used in the centre of midfield or at full-back during his time on Tyneside, will leave St James' Park when his contract expires this summer.
Long-serving winger Sammy Ameobi, defender Lubo Satka and midfielder Haris Vuckic are also heading for pastures new after the club announced their retained list.
