Eddie Howe is keen to retain both Krafth and Dubravka as part of early plans for the 2025/26 season, per Chronicle Live.
Though Champions League qualification isn't secured, Newcastle remain in contention for Europa League or Conference League spots.
Last season’s late drop from European contention led to contract U-turns for Matt Ritchie and Paul Dummett, who left on free transfers.
With a Europa Conference League play-off within reach, Howe wants a squad capable of handling European demands after struggles last term.
