Details of new Jacob Murphy contract at Newcastle United made public

Jacob Murphy's new contract details at Newcastle United have been made public, with the winger reportedly close to agreeing to terms that would extend his stay until June 2028. The 31-year-old, who signed for the club in 2017, is set to complete ten years at St James' Park in 2027, when his current deal expires. However, the exact duration of his extension remains unclear, with reports indicating a potential 12-month increase.

According to Craig Hope of The Mail, Jacob Murphy is "very close" to signing improved terms, although it is not confirmed if he will remain at Newcastle United that long. The club's interest in securing a transfer fee if Murphy leaves next summer appears to be a key factor in the negotiations, as they made at least two offers to Nottingham Forest for the player and made their final attempt with an offer of £15 million.
