According to Sportmail, Newcastle United midfielder Matty Longstaff hasn’t trained with the rest of the squad this week amid uncertainty over his future at St. James’ Park.
The 20-year-old is expected to join Udinese when his Newcastle contract runs out in the coming weeks having been offered a five-year deal worth £30,000-a-week by the Serie A side.
Matty currently has a thigh strain and might not be willing to risk further injuring himself as that could land a blow on his move to the Italian side.
The Magpies have offered him £20,000 after initially tabling £15,000-a-week, but it doesn’t seem that has done enough to convince their academy graduate.
