However, there is better news regarding veteran goalkeeper John Ruddy, who after initial hesitation has now committed to a new 12-month deal.
Now 38, Ruddy will act as a reserve keeper and also as a mentor to Newcastle's young players.
Wilson, meanwhile, has rejected a new incentive-based offer from Newcastle, though negotiations are continuing between the two parties.
The veteran has other offers and is likely to make a decision after the Club World Cup, where he is working as a pundit.
