"I think Eddie Howe ideally would like to keep hold of Fabian Schar. He definitely won't want to lose him mid-season. Ideally Newcastle would like to keep hold of Fabian Schar, but a lot will depend on the player, whether he wants to stay or not. If he's not playing regularly at this stage of his career, he could maybe be tempted in a move away in search of regular first team football."
"He started the first four games of the season, but obviously lost his place when he picked up that injury, then Malick Thiaw came in and he's been outstanding alongside Sven Botman. Should Schar leave Newcastle in January? Schar will want to play regularly, although he does not need to worry about fighting for a place in Switzerland's squad for next summer's World Cup, given that he has retired from international football."
Fabian Schar joined Newcastle in 2018 for around £3m and has served the club for seven years. He has fallen down the centre-back pecking order behind Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman and Dan Burn after losing his place following an injury. A return to the Bundesliga is a potential option, with overseas interest and the possibility of a free transfer when his contract expires at season's end. Eddie Howe would prefer to retain Schar through the season, but the player's desire for regular first-team football will heavily influence any decision. Schar has retired from international duty, reducing World Cup selection pressure.
