Newcastle aim for 4 player sales

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez aims to raise £30m from four player sales.

The Daily Star says Benitez will demand that transfer windfall be added to his kitty this summer.

The Magpies are awaiting an offer from newly-promoted Fulham for striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has been a huge success on loan at Craven Cottage.

A bid of around £16m will land Mitrovic but he won't be the only departure from St James' Park.

Anderlecht hope to re-sign centre half Chancel Mbemba and keeper Mat Sels with the pair keen on a move back to Belgium.

And Spanish Under-21 international Mikel Merino could also be on his way with Athletic Bilbao and Real Betis interested in the £8m-rated midfielder.
