Newcastle United risk missing out on Venezuela striker Jan Carlos Hurtado.

Hurtado is wanted by Rafa Benitez at Newcastle - if he stays as manager.

But as contract talks continue to be delayed, clubs in Europe are rumoured to be moving in on the young Venezuelan striker - very highly rated in South America.

According to Diagonales, Marseille and several clubs from Germany want Hurtado this summer.

Hurtado is tied to Gimnasia y Esgrima.
