Joelinton's future at Newcastle appears uncertain as a result of a potential season-ending injury and a contract stand-off.
The 27-year-old Brazilian, who has found success as a midfielder under Eddie Howe, suffered a thigh injury in the Magpies' recent FA Cup victory over Sunderland. With surgery scheduled for next week, it's unlikely Joelinton will feature again this season.
Reports suggest that Joelinton's current wage demands exceed what Newcastle are willing to pay, leading to speculation that he might be sold before making another appearance.
The Mail outlines that, with only 18 months left on his current deal, a compromise needs to be reached for Joelinton's long-term future at the club.
It would be tough for Howe to lose the midfielder, as he really wants to keep Joelinton. However, it might be challenging since Joelinton's requests would make him the highest-paid player at the club.
