Newcastle United are putting forward a deadline to secure manager Rafa Benitez.
The Magpies do not want to wait around for Benitez as the season draws to a close.
But they are committed to finding common ground for a contract renewal, per the Chronicle.
The paper states that Newcastle hope to get an agreement with Benitez within two weeks.
The Spaniard wants more control over transfers, while the club understands how much he is liked by the players and fans.
The only concern is another club in a top European league tempting Benitez with a more enticing project.
