Eddie Howe is reluctant to lose Martin Dubravka to Manchester United but he admitted the decision is out of his hands.
Erik ten Hag wants to sign another goalkeeper to challenge David de Gea and Dubravka, 33, has been earmarked as a suitable candidate for a move to Old Trafford. Dubravka has spent four years with Newcastle and is contracted until 2025.
Dubravka was Newcastle's No.1 until the arrival of Nick Pope from Burnley in June. It is understood Dubravka is frustrated at losing his starting position and that has encouraged United to enter negotiations with Newcastle to sign the Slovakia international.
