According to TEAMtalk, Lewis Hall would consider leaving St James’ Park if the right opportunity arrived, although Newcastle are determined to keep him amid links with Chelsea. Newcastle want to keep him, but the interest from Chelsea is reportedly real enough to create pressure.

Chelsea-focused reporter Si Phillips claimed internal discussions over the move for Lewis Hall have already taken place. Hall was originally a Chelsea player before being loaned to Newcastle ahead of the 2023/24 campaign, with the terms containing an obligation to buy worth £28m. Newcastle are open to selling one or two prominent players this summer to fund a rebuild.

According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Chelsea hold a 'serious interest' in Lewis Hall and 'lead the race' to sign him this summer. The same source reports that Chelsea regret selling him and are spying a potential reunion. The report tips negotiations to begin at £50-55m, but states Newcastle will only sell if an 'extraordinary offer' comes in. Hall has also been scouted by Real Madrid, according to reports in the Spanish media. Despite the growing speculation, Newcastle have no intention of selling Hall this summer. Newcastle are relaxed about the situation as Hall and his entourage are not agitating for a move. Separately, Hall has been praised by Transfer News Live for his 'sensational form' this campaign.

According to sources close to the agents industry, Chelsea have tracked Lewis Hall's progress and have reportedly continued to track his development. For Newcastle's leadership, Hall remains a vital part of their long-term vision, and they have no intention of letting him leave easily. Newcastle United is in a strong negotiating position, as Hall's contract reportedly runs until 2029 and contains no release clause. Any potential talks would begin at a figure around £50-55 million, though Newcastle would likely demand significantly more if multiple clubs entered a bidding contest.
