The growth of Newcastle In recent times, this is due to two aspects. The first is the money that Saudi owners invest in talented players Bruno Guimaraes, Botman or Isak. The second in an evolution of footballers who are already in the squad and have reached their football maturity at the best moment in recent magpies history. The most obvious is the case of Joelinton (27).
The Brazilian international arrived at Newcastle in exchange for 44 million. His beginnings were difficult, because he was a striker and his numbers did not reach five goals per season.

For Eddie Howe He was an irreplaceable footballer, so now that he won’t be able to play until May after undergoing surgery in January for a muscle injury, he will be sorely missed.
He was even more worried about that fact the contract ends in 2025 and did not renew. By January he was speaking with resignation, for he had almost considered it lost. ”He still has 18 months left on his contract, so it’s possible he could be sold in the summer. I can’t predict the future, but it’s a possibility. I hope it’s not like that, I want him to stay. I love him as a person and as a player, but before a player signs a new contract he has to be happy with everything and we are not in that case.“.
”We are desperate to keep him”
Although time is against Newcastle, their coach insists they are making the maximum possible effort to ensure he does not leave in the summer and extend his contract. ”We are still trying from the club side to come to an agreement with Joelinton on a new contract, we are desperate to keep him. There are no major changes in the situation but we are trying, we are doing it“.
