Newcastle's new boss, Matthias Jaissle, admitted he has spoken to the 34-year-old about his situation. He said: "I had a talk with Nick and he knows exactly the situation right now.

"We need to deal with it in the best possible way. But I always appreciate the players and the human beings behind them, so this is the most important thing."

Pope, who joined Newcastle from Burnley in 2022, did not feature in the friendly win against Valencia. He may be allowed to leave before the transfer window closes.
