Newcastle United are in talks to sign Manchester City winger Jesus Navas.

The Mirror says Navas is a free agent after leaving the Etihad and had been expected to agree a deal to return to Sevilla.

But talks appear to have stalled, with the Spanish club refusing to up their offer of £1.3million a year.

Navas has been told to make a decision by next Sunday if he wants to move home.

But a club source said: “If he decides not to come back it is not a problem."

The situation has alerted Newcastle, who have put a proposal to the player's agent.
