Newcastle want to avoid any repeat of the Alexander Isak saga in the years to come, which is why they are planning to hold contract talks with one of their star players.Isak had three years left on his Newcastle contract when he made it clear that he wanted to leave during the summer transfer window, and being aware that his value would only drop as time went on, the decision was made for a British transfer record deal to be agreed with Liverpool.Another player whose deal ends in 2028 is Bruno Guimaraes, and Newcastle are clear that they do not want him to follow in the footsteps of Isak.Newcastle intend to offer new contract to Bruno GuimaraesNewcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes in action last season.
