As things currently stand, Fabian Schar is set to end his time at Newcastle United on 30 June 2026.
The brilliant central defender having missed the second half of this 2025/26 season through injury.
However, Friday morning has seen an official club explanation of the situation surrounding Fabian Schar.
The revelation that in 39 days times the Switzerland international hopefully won’t be leaving.
Keith Downie of Sky Sports reporting on Friday morning: “Newcastle United have offered Fabian Schar a new contract and are hopeful he will sign it. The 34-year-old has been offered reduced terms, and will need to understand his role in the group moving forward.”
Eddie Howe revealing at his pre-Fulham press conference: “We have spoken to Fabian and his agent and we are hoping for a successful outcome. We want him to stay, he’s been unbelievable for us.”
Fabian Schar has been at Newcastle United for eight years (so far…) and was one of Rafa Benitez’ many excellent signings. Tipped off by his contacts in Spain that a contract clause meant Schar could be bought for only £3million from Deportivo.
Like a number of other older NUFC players, Fabian Schar has previously been happy to add another season onto his existing contract. He turns 35 in December and so it is very likely that the 2026/27 season will be his last at St James’ Park, if agreement can be reached.
