Your Newcastle United transfer round-up for Tuesday, February 15.
Magpies still keen on Carlos
Spanish outlet Marca claim Sevilla are bracing themselves for a fresh approach from Newcastle to sign Diego Carlos in the summer.
Toon chiefs grew frustrated at the La Liga outfit’s hardball approach in January, ultimately switching their attention to Brighton’s Dan Burn.
The centre-back was reportedly keen on a move but was ordered to stay put until the end of the season.
Marca astonishingly reports that Newcastle had a £42million offer rebuffed for Carlos, with Sevilla director Monchi deciding to keep the Brazilian while the club mount a bid for the league title.
Toon eye former Black cat
Newcastle have shortlisted Lyon centre-back Jason Denayer, according to Sport Witness.
The Belgian defender - who had a loan stint at Sunderland while on Man City’s books - is valued at £18million and has 33 caps for his national side.
The Magpies already raided the French giants for Bruno Guimaraes last month and will be looking to exert their financial influence again in the coming months.
Kessie to Tyneside?
Highly-rated AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie has five top European clubs - including Newcastle - vying for his signature.
Italian newspaper La Repubblica lists the Magpies alongside Liverpool and Barcelona as suitors who wish to sign the Ivorian on a free this summer.
A six-foot-tall, powerful midfield enforcer, the 25-year-old is out of contract in the summer and would add steel to the Newcastle engine room.
Signing a player as sought after as Kessie would be a statement of intent from the new owners.
