Fabian schar

Deportivo La Coruna: Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar has committed his future to the club by signing a contract extension that will keep him at St. James' Park until the end of the 2025/26 season. The Swiss centre-back, who has been a key figure in the Magpies' defense since joining from Deportivo La Coruna in 2018, has expressed his delight at continuing his journey with the club.

At 33, Schar is one of Newcastle's longest-serving players, having made 221 competitive appearances and finding the net 19 times. His contributions extend beyond defensive stability, as he is widely known for his exceptional passing range and his ability to score spectacular long-range goals. One of his most memorable strikes came during Newcastle's emphatic 4-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in October 2023.

Schär also played a pivotal role in Newcastle's Carabao Cup triumph this season, scoring twice and providing a crucial assist on the road to Wembley before featuring in the final. His presence in the squad has been invaluable, and securing his services for the next two years is a significant boost for Eddie Howe's side.
