20-year-old Toure had joined Newcastle from Swiss club Young Boys and for the Magpies’ youth sides, he played a total of 45 games and contributed to 13 goals.
Indalecio is 23 and played ten games for the club’s Under-23 side this season. Bailey meanwhile, has been around the club’s youth setup for many years now but he’s not made it to the first team.
The news of the release would be disappointing for the three players, but considering the ages of Indalecio and Bailey, it is understandable why they are leaving.
