A lot of Newcastle United fans have responded to a tweet from NUFC 360 claiming that Matty Longstaff is considering leaving Tyneside in the summer.
The tweet cited a report from Teamtalk that states that the 20-year-old is wanted by the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Club Brugge, and Inter.
This has drawn a reaction from these Toon fans.

Good luck to Matty longstaff if he does leave Newcastle.He won’t learn anything under Bruce.He needs to work under a manager who will bring his game on.

If he does decide to leave I wish him nothing but the best. Our ownership is disgusting!

He won’t be allowed to leave the country.

He has to consider all options in order to develop his career, its a shame, but lets face it, we are a mess, good luck Matty!

Absolute madness if we let him leave and product of the academy which we’ve been crying out for, you couldn’t make it up

What do we think?
Longstaff’s contract is up in June, and talks are said to have stalled over a new deal, and if this report is true, then some big clubs seem to be interested in signing him.
Do you believe this report?
Yes
No
The 20-year-old, who is valued at £3.6m by Transfermarkt, has made 12 appearances in all competitions for Newcastle this season and has scored three goals.
Steve Bruce has said that he wants to keep him, but unless the two parties come to an agreement, it is thought the Magpies are likely to lose him for just £400k in the summer.
We feel that Newcastle have to sort Matty Longstaff’s contract out.
