Bruno Guimaraes reacts to Callum Wilson’s cryptic message amid ‘Newcastle exit’ news
Callum Wilson has been continuously linked with a move away from Newcastle and dropped a cryptic message amid exit speculation.
Newcastle are gearing up to face Manchester United on 13 April in a crucial clash that could define their Champions League ambitions for the season.
Wilson, who returned in February following a hamstring injury, has found himself playing more of a supporting role with Alexander Isak in red-hot form leading the line.
Despite his past importance to Eddie Howe’s side, the England striker has seen limited minutes in recent months.
With his contract set to expire this summer, Football Insider revealed that Wilson is expected to leave Newcastle on a free transfer, with the club unlikely to offer him fresh terms.
The striker is not part of the long-term plans at St James’ Park, as the club looks to evolve its attacking options.
Amid the growing speculation surrounding his future, Wilson posted a cryptic message on social media ahead of Newcastle’s preparations for the trip to Old Trafford.
Newcastle supporters lose patience with Callum Wilson amid injury struggles
Wilson recently posted a message on social media amid the exit speculation, saying: “It’s only about who stands in the rain with you when they have a choice to be dry.”
The post sparked reactions from several of his teammates, with Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Joelinton all liking the message.
The striker has featured just 14 times this season, missing a staggering 29 games due to injury. His fitness issues have become a major point of contention, with Newcastle supporters previously calling for Wilson’s contract to be terminated, citing the lack of depth in attack caused by his absences.
Even when he has been available, Wilson has failed to make a significant impact. He has scored just once this season, leaving fans disappointed with his performances in the limited minutes he has been given.
Since joining Newcastle in 2020, he has missed 114 games for both club and country due to various injury problems, leading to questions about his long-term future at St James’ Park which looks set to end.

Newcastle target Dominic Calvert-Lewin to replace Callum Wilson
With Wilson expected to depart in the summer, the Magpies have already begun planning for his replacement.
Football Insider revealed that Newcastle is “very keen” on signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the upcoming transfer window, with the Everton striker available on a free transfer.
However, the Magpies may face competition for his signature, with Sheffield United also reportedly interested in bringing Calvert-Lewin back to his former club.
While plans are in motion for the summer, Howe will be hoping Wilson can stay fit for the remainder of the season to help Newcastle push for a spot in next season’s Champions League.
