The agent of Fabian Schar is reportedly now in talks over a potential move away from Newcastle United in the summer.

The Lowdown: Schar soon out of contract

The 30-year-old is out of contract at St James' Park in the summer, meaning that he can leave as a free agent.

The Switzerland international has been one of their best performers in the Premier League so far this season, so it would not be a surprise to see a number of clubs line up for his signature.

The Latest: Milan talks over Schar

As per transfer insider Rudy Galetti, Schar's agent Volker Struth has now held a 'meeting' with AC Milan over a possible move for his client to the Serie A giants this summer.

Other names have also been discussed, but the Swiss defender will no doubt stand out to those at Newcastle.

The Verdict: Worrying for Newcastle

It is certainly worrying that there have been talks held over Schar's potential exit from Tyneside.

The defender is reportedly close to signing a new deal with the Magpies, but his head could well be turned by Milan, who have a rich history and are currently top of Serie A.

Newcastle will not want to lose Schar on a free transfer given that he still holds a decent market value, and he will not be an easy player to replace as he has been virtually ever-present under Eddie Howe and, as outlined above, has impressed for the Toon this season.
