# Newcastle: Jamaal Lascelles could leave St James’ Park

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) could be receptive to offers for captain Jamaal Lascelles this summer, [The I](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-transfer-news-striker-ffp-miguel-almiron-1606852?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1651511831)‘s Mark Douglas has reported.**

### The lowdown

The Magpies paid [£4.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jamaal-lascelles/profil/spieler/183318) to sign the defender from Nottingham Forest back in August 2014. He has gone to pass the 200-appearance mark for the club ([211](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jamaal-lascelles/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/183318/verein/762)) and [featured in the PFA Championship Team of the Year](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39648483) when they won promotion back to the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) in 2016/17.

Lascelles, who still has more than two years to run on his [£40,000-per-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/newcastle-united-fc/payroll/) contract at St James’ Park, is valued at £9.9m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jamaal-lascelles/profil/spieler/183318).

Lascelles is one of the players who ‘[might go](https://twitter.com/MsiDouglas/status/1521191475178086402)‘, with Newcastle potentially set to consider any bids for the 28-year-old.

### The verdict

An exit for Lascelles may have been unthinkable earlier in the season, with the Englishman [starting 20 of Newcastle’s first 24 Premier League matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jamaal-lascelles/leistungsdaten/spieler/183318).

However, he appears to have fallen down the pecking order following the arrival of another centre-back in Dan Burn in January. Indeed, Eddie Howe has selected the 28-year-old Derby native for just [two of the last 12](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jamaal-lascelles/leistungsdaten/spieler/183318) top-flight games.

Lascelles has said that he would [‘run through a brick wall’](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10668447/Newcastle-Jamaal-Lascelles-praises-Eddie-Howe-instilling-winning-mentality-St-James.html) for his manager, but with [Financial Fair Play requirements](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/newcastle-transfer-news-striker-ffp-miguel-almiron-1606852?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1651511831) a consideration for Newcastle, they may need to make a ruthless decision to offload their club captain.
