The 31-year-old right-back Jesús Gámez is the one who could join Rafa Benitez at the Championship side.
After Atleti signed Šime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo, AS says Gámez knows his future will not be at the Vicente Calderón next season, and should be looking for another club.
The article doesn’t have any other information about the deal with Newcastle United, as they don’t even mention if the player was offered to or approached by the Magpies.
Gámez signed for Atletico from Malaga in 2014 for €2.5m. He was never used much by Diego Simeone, and he only made 37 appearances in two seasons for the club.
