Newcastle United remain keen on Toulouse left-back Cheikh M'Bengue.
French sources say Newcastle have made a second bid for M'Bengue, raising more question marks about José Enrique's future.
Pardew is hoping to speak to the Spaniard's representatives early this week about extending the contract due to run out next summer with what the manager says will be a "fantastic offer" - expected to be a five-year deal.
But their pursuit of left-back M'Bengue suggests they are not optimistic about persuading him to stay.
