Lewis Hall to Newcastle United salary, contract details, transfer fee
The deal’s financial details show a sizeable investment, with a basic price of $36 million and an extra $9 million based upon meeting specific performance-related requirements.
Hall’s initial assignment to Newcastle will be a season-long loan, continuing a plan that was initially developed to get around Financial Fair Play (FFP) laws. A required buy-option provision in the agreement will go into effect the following season.
When he joins the team permanently next season, the young English defender is prepared to formally affirm his dedication to the organization by signing a contract. His medical is scheduled for later this week, while details regarding wage distribution over the loan term are still unclear. Lewis Hall will face off against Dan Burn for the left-back spot and be a serious contender. The action put an end to Newcastle’s pursuit of Kieran Tierney from Arsenal.
Newcastle hijacked the deal before Crystal Palace
Hall was initially set to sign a loan agreement with Crystal Palace, under which Hall’s complete salary would be paid by Crystal Palace. Due to a long-standing friendship between Roy Hodgson and Mauricio Pochettino, the managers of the two teams, the transaction was already far along, but Newcastle made an offer with a price that the Blues could not refuse.
The moment Hall made his Premier League debut was during Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle in November 2022. He played in 11 games in various tournaments during the previous season, including nine Premier League games. His accomplishments culminated in the honour of being named Chelsea’s Academy Player of the Year for 2023.

Salary details
In August 2023, Lewis Hall renewed his six-year contract with Chelsea before transferring to Newcastle United. This significant commitment from Hall includes a recently agreed-upon six-year term, as well as the possibility of a potential one-year extension. Hall’s superb performance, as evidenced by the high praise his first twelve senior games at Stamford Bridge received, is the basis for this lengthy contract.
Prior to his departure, Spotrac and Capology stated that Hall made $8,900 per week at Chelsea, which amounted to $460,000 over the course of a season. But after he agreed to a new contract in August, these profits saw a huge increase.
The defender has already moved, but neither the parent club nor the Magpies have verified the wage arrangement. Following the conclusion of his medical evaluation at Newcastle United, the specifics of his updated salary will come. Newcastle United will also explain if they will take full financial accountability for the duration of the loan or only partial liability.
