Newcastle: a big contract awaits Lingard

At the end of his contract next June and little used since the start of the season, striker Jesse Lingard (28 years old, 11 appearances and 2 goals in all competitions this season) has a good chance of leaving Manchester United this winter. Now endowed with colossal means with the arrival of Saudi investors, Newcastle wants to recover the England international.

According to the Times, the Magpies are ready to offer him a four-and-a-half-year contract with a salary of 100,000 euros per week, or more than 5 million euros per year. Emoluments that would make Mancunien the highest paid player in the history of the club. It remains to be seen whether Lingard wants to join the Premier League’s red lantern.
