Transfer insider: NUFC ace's agent & European giant now hold 'meeting' over possible summer move

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

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.

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.

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.
