Newcastle United are ready to move for Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz.

Diaz has been a long-term target for the Toon, though his asking price had proven beyond former club owner Mike Ashley.

AS says now under new ownership, Newcastle are reviving their interest in the striker.

Diaz is available from Real Madrid ahead of the January market at a starting price of €10m.

The striker has struggled to make an impact in Madrid after being re-signed following a sensational 12 months with Lyon in season 2017/18.
