Inter Milan winger Valentino Lazaro is being linked with a return to Newcastle United.
The Evening Chronicle says Lazaro is set to be offered to the Magpies and their Premier League rivals this summer.
And sources close to the player have indicated he is "open" to a possible comeback with United next season.
Steve Bruce is looking at the centre-back and central midfield area, but there could be potential for a loan deal with a view to a permanent as Inter Milan look to get Lazaro game-time once again.
The Serie A champions are actually prepared to sell Lazaro outright this summer but his fee could still be steep.
