Pope joined the Magpies from Burnley in 2022 and has gone on to make over 100 appearances, helping the club to win the Carabao Cup and qualify for the Champions League in two of the last three seasons.
While Pope’s future, at least in the short term, has been secured, the Magpies have several players out of contract in 2026. And looking slightly longer-term, United are also keen to tie down the likes of Sven Botman, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento.
Player contracts are expected to be addressed in the coming months following the appointment of Ross Wilson as sporting director.
When asked about any new contracts being in the offing, Eddie Howe said on Friday: “Not as far as I know. That was one that was probably waiting for Ross to come in as sporting director at take the lead on that.
“Those conversations will all be lead by Ross and of course I’m sure he is all over that, looking at the contract length of all the players and starting conversations accordingly. If there is any news I’ll update you.”
