According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Wilson has been auditing the contract lengths and terms across the first team since his arrival last month.
While Newcastle remain in a strong position regarding
Sandro Tonali’s long-term deal — which quietly runs through 2029 with an option for 2030 — attention has now shifted to senior figures such as Trippier, whose current deal expires in June 2026.
Trippier, 35, was the club’s first signing after the Saudi-led takeover and has played a central role in Newcastle’s rise from relegation battles to Champions League football and Carabao Cup success.
Despite recurring speculation over his future across the past three transfer windows, the England international has retained his starting place under Eddie Howe this season, making eight Premier League appearances (seven starts) and starting all three Champions League matches.
Trippier’s leadership and consistency remain vital to Howe’s plans, particularly with Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall both sidelined through injury.
Sources told The Athletic that while Newcastle recognizes Trippier’s influence on and off the pitch, next summer may represent a natural transition point for the squad’s aging core, including the right back.
Waugh reports that a one-year extension is under consideration, as that’s a move that would give Howe greater flexibility while ensuring Trippier is not allowed to leave before a suitable successor is secured. The club views this as a practical step in maintaining balance between experience and long-term planning.
Trippier joined from Atlético Madrid in January 2022 and quickly became a leader within the dressing room, captaining the side on several occasions.
