Newcastle United starlet Matty Longstaff has been offered a huge deal by Udinese.
Longstaff has rose to prominence this season following his showings for Newcastle in the Premier League.
And the talented midfielder, who's on a reported £850 per week academy contract, could leave England for Italy after being tabled a lucrative five-year deal, according to Sky Sports.
Matty Longstaff has been offered £30,000-a-week to sign for Serie A side Udinese. The midfielder flew out to Italy before lockdown, where held talks over a 5-year-deal. Longstaff wants to stay at Newcastle but Udinese’s offer is more than double that of Newcastle’s #NUFC

Longstaff's future has been the subject of intense transfer speculation after rejecting a long-term contract from Newcastle who reportedly offered him a £15,000 per week deal.
The North East outfit have yet to return with another offer with Udinese set to pounce by offering the 20-year-old a reported £30,000 per week contract, along with a signing-on fee.
Longstaff traveled to Italy for talks before the global pandemic with the player weighing up his options.
The Serie A side would also have to pay Newcastle around £400,000 in compensation due to Longstaff's age.
Further reports claim Longstaff would become Udinese's highest paid player if he does put to paper with the Italian club.
To put this into context; this would make Matty Longstaff Udinese’ highest paid player. De Paul is currently the highest on £26,000-a-week. Which makes me think Watford is almost the guaranteed destination https://t.co/ILUHJlasUj

Rodrigo De Paul is currently the club's highest earner with a £26,000 per week contract.
