Newcastle United have opened talks with Real Valladolid over signing Ivan Fresneda.
The 18-year-old is seen as one of Spain's top young prospects and is also attracting attention from Juventus and Borussia Dortmund.
The Magpies have made the first move for the right-back, opening discussions about buying him, claims journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Fresneda has a contract at Valldolid until 2025, however there is a release clause worth a supposed £26million.
Newcastle reportedly value him at half that figure but could be keen on loaning him straight back to the LaLiga side for the rest of the season if they sign him in.
It is unclear whether Valladolid would accept this but it has been reported that they could demand £10million.
