Joelinton has been playing for Newcastle since the summer of 2019, when the English club recruited him from German club Hoffenheim for a record fee for Newcastle at the time of 40 million euros. Since then, the Brazilian has established himself as an indispensable element of the Magpies’ starting eleven, with whom he has already played 180 matches in all competitions.

Joelinton remains essential player despite injuries

Despite a season disrupted by several injuries, only allowing him to play 16 Premier League matches, Joelinton remains a pillar of the team coached by Eddie Howe. His performances, his investment on the pitch and his exemplary behavior off it have made him a favorite of the St James’ Park crowd.

There is therefore no doubt that Newcastle supporters are looking forward to seeing their midfielder extend the adventure in the North-East of England. By committing until June 2028, Joelinton would be a lasting part of the club’s project, which aims to stabilize itself among the elite of English football thanks to the arrival of rich Saudi owners.
