Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes are ecstatic to hear that one of their teammates is definitely staying at Newcastle United.
There could be a summer of change at St James’ Park, with many players expected to come and go as Newcastle United move into the next phase of their exciting project.
It has been reported that Miguel Almiron is likely to leave, while players such as Lloyd Kelly and Tosin Adarabioyo are being target amid the club’s current centre-back crisis.
But while comings and goings are exciting, retaining your best players can be just as important. And that is why Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes are very happy about the club’s major announcement on Thursday.
Newcastle confirm new contract for key player
On Thursday afternoon, the club released a video of Nick Pope and Joelinton playing a harmless game of Connect Four.
But the video was actually made to announce Joelinton’s new contract, with the 27-year-old committing his future to the Magpies. He has signed a new deal at St James’ Park, with his previous contract set to expire in 2025. That led to suggestions that Newcastle would need to sell him this summer, but now Joelinton is here to stay.
The news has delighted Eddie Howe, who was desperate to retain the services of such an important player.

And the feeling is mutual throughout the Newcastle squad, with multiple Toon players sending messages to the Brazil international after his new contract was announced.
Joelinton reacted to the announcement on his official Instagram account, delivering a message to fans.
He wrote: “Our story continues and I am very proud to continue to be part of this great club that I love. To all the fans, Thank you for all your support and love , this means a lot to me.”
Plenty of Joelinton’s teammates have replied, such as Sven Botman, Fabian Schar, Elliot Anderson and Nick Pope.
Anthony Gordon also commented, writing: “Well deserved Joey.”
Joelinton’s fellow Brazilian Bruno gave his reaction, writing: “Let’s go brother.”
Bruno also provided a separate reaction on his own Instagram account, posting on his story: “So happy for you my brother!! Only those who are with you every day know how dedicated you are to your work! May these be wonderful years you ——-.”
Joelinton’s wife delighted to be staying in Newcastle
Joelinton is happy, his teammates are happy, and so is his partner Thays Gondim.
The 27-year-old’s partner has also taken to social media to express her joy at remaining in the area, after it was confirmed that Joelinton would be staying at Newcastle United.
She wrote on Instagram: “For the honor and glory of the Lord another great achievement in our lives. Thank you God. And to my husband and idol: LET’S GO IS ALWAYS TOGETHER!! Fly high my love It’s just another chapter of everything you deserve in this world!! May it be wonderful years in our lives together with our heart team. GRATITUDE.”
It is excellent to read how happy she is to be staying in Newcastle. Their family appear to be very settled in the area, and that was probably a key factor in Joelinton signing a new deal.
Joelinton is here to stay, and everyone is absolutely delighted.
