Liverpool midfielder Lazar Markovic is a target for Newcastle United.
Goal reports Newcastle have made an approach for Markovic.
Sporting Lisbon were reportedly prepared to pay £16m for the Serb, while a whole host of clubs are willing to take him on loan.
However, Markovic is considering a temporary switch to St James' Park as Rafa Benitez looks to bolster his squad for the rest of the campaign.
