After being linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain’s Edinson Cavani and Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly, the Magpies interest in Ajax’s Donny van de Beek emerged on Tuesday.
Real Madrid have also been credited with an interest in the Netherlands international since the end of last season. Sport now claims it’s been a few months since Madrid asked for time to decide on the 23-year-old.
This has not pleased the midfielder’s representative and therefore, the latter has ‘officially’ started listening to proposals from the Premier League for the player.

It’s claimed the Tyneside club ‘would be interested’ in taking over the Dutchman’s services, who is expected to leave Ajax for a ‘fairly reasonable price’ in the summer.
