Newcastle set condition for Dan Burn contract renewal

Dan Burn is preparing to enter negotiations regarding a contract extension with Newcastle, but the player's future will be linked to his ability to prove his worth to manager Matthias Jaissle.

Football Insider has reported that Newcastle are planning to start negotiations to renew Dan Burn's contract soon, with the 34-year-old defender set to receive a new offer if he proves his ability to continue playing regularly at the highest level.

Burn's contract with Newcastle ends at the end of the current season, and the player is currently sidelined due to an ankle injury, with expectations of his return after the upcoming international break.

Burn featured in 44 matches last season but may face strong competition for playing time due to the impressive performances of Sven Botman and Malick Thiaw, along with the readiness of Lewis Hall.

The source clarified that the club will assess Burn based on his level and what he can offer, especially with Newcastle's desire to retain experienced players within their young squad.

Newcastle are planning to offer Joe Willock a new contract if he proves his worth against Yaisle throughout the season, having scored two goals in five matches so far.
