Newcastle have sounded out Benfica for Darwin Nunez.
i News reports Newcastle are one of the clubs interested in signing Nunez in the winter transfer window.
Nunez is believed to have a £100m release clause but could be picked up for less.
The Magpies have been quoted in excess of £50m for the 22-year-old.
Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are also keeping an eye on the player, with both teams in need of a striker.
Alternatively, Newcastle are plotting an audacious swoop for Arsenal outcast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The 32-year-old was stripped off the captaincy and banished from the first-team after a 'disciplinary' breach.
