Newcastle United have received £12m offer from Premier League club for Sean Longstaff – Report | OneFootball

Newcastle United have received a £12m offer from Leeds United for Sean Longstaff from Newcastle.

There has been longstanding reporting on interest from the promoted club for the 27 year old.

The ever reliable David Ornstein from The Athletic having the exclusive on this £12m bid from Leeds United for Sean Longstaff.

He says that this is actually the Elland Road club’s third offer for the Geordie midfielder.

Ornstein stating that this latest bid is for a guaranteed £10m, plus £2m in future add-ons.

The man from The Athletic says that Leeds United are now waiting for a response to the latest bid.

The report saying that personal terms have already been agreed between Sean Longstaff and Leeds United, so all that is needed now is for Newcastle United to say yes to the new improved bid.

Newcastle United triggered a one-year contract extension last year, which takes Sean Longstaff up to 30 June 2026.

David Ornstein adds; ‘As an academy graduate, Longstaff wants his boyhood team to be compensated rather than face losing him as a free agent next summer.’

Sean Longstaff has been a great servant to Newcastle United but I think it is very clear that for both club and player, the time is right to move on.

Having been an all but automatic first choice player the previous two seasons, Sean Longstaff only managed 788 minutes in the 2024/25 Premier League season (2517 minutes in 2022/23 PL season, 2748 minutes in 2023/24 PL season) and as last season went on, the Geordie midfielder used less and less.

Sean Longstaff is a Premier League level midfielder for sure and if a deal can be done, Leeds United looks potentially a great fit.
