Though much of the focus ahead of the January transfer window will obviously be on players who Newcastle United could potentially sign, there could be outgoings at the club too. <\/p>\n

Last January, of course, saw Miguel Almiron and Lloyd Kelly leave the club. <\/p>\n

While the 2026 January transfer window<\/a> is expected to be busier at Newcastle United<\/a> in terms of incomings, departures cannot be ruled out either. <\/p>\n

Jamaal Lascelles could LEAVE Newcastle United in January! What are your favourite memories of his career at the club? <\/p>\n

That PSG game has to be up there \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s hard to imagine the club cashing in on another key player following the sale of Alexander Isak in September, there could be exits. <\/p>\n

In fact, one potential sale in the form of Jamaal Lascelles<\/a> would mark the end of an era.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jamaal Lascelles likely to leave Newcastle United <\/p>\n

According to The Daily Mail<\/a>, Lascelles is likely to leave St James\u2019 Park<\/a> in January in pursuit of first-team football elsewhere. <\/p>\n

Lascelles has only made two appearances since he suffered a serious knee injury in March 2024 but is currently Newcastle\u2019s longest-serving player. <\/p>\n

The defender joined the club in 2014 but spent a year on loan at former club Nottingham Forest and has since made 253 appearances for the club. <\/p>\n

Lascelles captained the Magpies to the Championship title in 2017\u00a0and while he has proven to be an important figure behind the scenes, he looks\u00a0way down\u00a0the pecking order these days.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Previously, clubs in Turkish football have expressed an interest in signing Lascelles<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Who is the one player you were FURIOUS with Newcastle United for selling? Go back as far as you want! <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll start: I\u2019m still not over Mike Ashley selling Andy Carroll to Liverpool all those years ago!\ud83d\ude21<\/p>\n

Why Jamaal Lascelles should leave Newcastle United in January <\/p>\n

Lascelles was a key part of the Benitez era, while he also played under Steve Bruce. <\/p>\n

Though he proved he could still play a part in Newcastle\u2019s present when he marked Kylian Mbappe out of the game when Paris Saint-Germain came to St James\u2019 Park in the Champions League in 2023, he does feel like something of a throwback. <\/p>\n

His departure would be emotional. Lascelles was named Newcastle captain in 2016<\/a>, having\u00a0emerged\u00a0as a leader all while Benitez was trying to stave off an eventual relegation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the 31-year-old surely needs to be playing somewhere at this stage of his career, having just returned from a serious injury. <\/p>\n

Out of contract this summer anyway, it would make sense to sell him while the club can still get a fee. <\/p>\n
