Newcastle are in advanced talks with Sevilla for Diego Carlos.
The Brazilian is said to be open to the move but Sevilla are believed to be asking £35million for the 28-year-old as they chase LaLiga title.
Newcastle are understood to have offered around £25m so far but talks are continuing, says the Daily Mail.
They are running parallel negotiations with a number of targets as Eddie Howe wants to bring in two central defenders, two strikers, another full-back and a midfielder if possible.
Despite being rebuffed in a £30million bid for Sven Botman at Lille he remains a target for this window as does Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti if a loan can be agreed.
