Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce admits Matt Ritchie is up for sale.
The Magpies have been in discussions with Bournemouth over a possible exit for winger Matt Ritchie but the Cherries could not agree a wage structure with the ex-Scotland man or settle on a transfer fee with Newcastle.
When asked about Ritchie's fresh links with Bournemouth, Bruce said: "We all understand what Matt's situation is.
"He is a very good player for the club and has been here five years.
"His frustration is he is not playing week-in. week-out.
"We have to make way to bring somebody in so we can never say never.
"It's the same with anyone in the squad but it would take a hell of an offer."
