Newcastle boost as key star could sign long-term contract | OneFootball

Newcastle United want to reward Lewis Mile with a new contract, per the Sun.

The 20-year-old’s current deal runs until 2029, but the Magpies are keen to reward him with a better deal.

An announcement is not expected any time soon as the two parties are yet to finalise the terms.

Miley has been a key first-team player for Newcastle in the last two seasons, making 80 senior appearances.

He mainly operates as a central midfielder, but manager Eddie Howe has used him as a right-back this season after injuries to Tino Livramento and Kieran Trippier.

Miley performed impressively in his new role.

He picked up a serious injury during training last week, ruling him out for the rest of the season. However, he is expected to return for the start of pre-season.

Newcastle are keen to secure the youngster’s long-term future, with Trippier leaving at the end of the season.

Livramento’s future at St James’ Park is also a source of speculation, with Manchester City and Arsenal reportedly interested in securing his services.

The Tyneside club may be reluctant to sell, but a big offer could change their stance.

Newcastle have endured a difficult 2025-26 campaign. They are 13th in the Premier League standings with two games remaining.

Despite their struggles, the club’s hierarchy will retain Howe as their manager.
