Atalanta have informed Newcastle United they're prepared to sell Duvan Zapata this month.
TMW says Zapata held talks with Newcastle intermediaries last week and they made an offer of a loan to June with an obligatory permanent option to be triggered should they stay up.
However, the proposal was rejected by Atalanta with 'disdain;.
But nothing has been shut down and instead La Dea will sell if Newcastle put €40m cash on the table.
Zapata has also been tabled a deal worth €6.5m-a-year to 2025 - which is worth over double what he currently earns with Atalanta.
