Newcastle United stars Matty Longstaff and Ciaran Clarke will both leave the club this summer.
The Magpies are not renewing the contracts of either player as they build a Champions League capable squad.
While manager Eddie Howe does not see them in his plans, the club will continue to support Longstaff as he recovers from an ACL injury.
Other players are also being extended or released, as indicated in the following club statement:
The club have triggered an option to retain Matt Ritchie's services for another season, while offers have been made to Paul Dummett and Loris Karius.
The club have taken an option to extend Mark Gillespie's contract for another year, while Dan Burn has activated another year on his existing contract based on appearances.
Chris Wood will make a permanent move to Nottingham Forest on 1st July after spending the second half of last season on loan at the City Ground."
