England international footballer Harvey Barnes has penned a new long-term contract with Newcastle United. His previous deal with the Premier League club was set to run until June 30, 2028. Aston Villa had shown strong interest in Barnes, looking for a replacement for Morgan Rogers.

Newcastle has seen some significant player movement, losing forward Anthony Gordon to FC Barcelona and midfielder Sandro Tonali. The Italian international has joined Slovak goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka at Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, Newcastle is keen to retain their Brazilian captain, Bruno Guimaraes, who is reportedly a target for Arsenal London.

Barnes expressed his delight at extending his stay at St. James' Park. "It's fantastic that we've agreed on a contract extension with Newcastle two years before my original deal was set to expire. I've experienced many adventures at this club, and I'm thrilled that our journey together will continue," Barnes was quoted as saying by AFP.
