The Spanish press claim that Newcastle are pushing to sign Real Zaragoza midfielder Pablo Aimar.
The Magpies are believed to be looking for a replacement for Emre, who has been allowed to return to Turkey.
This man could be former Argentina international Aimar, who is not part of the Spanish club's plans after they have been relegated to second division.
Greek giants Panathinaikos have already launched a bid to try and sign the attacking midfielder, and Kevin Keegan has reportedly been told to make an improved offer to match Zaragoza's demands.
A £4 million fee should be enough to secure the services of a player who joined the blues back in June 2006 for £9 million.
Zaragoza's board of directors have reportedly decided during a meeting that Aimar moving is a priority, and they have apparently welcomed Newcastle's approach for a player who was one of the best in the world only a few years ago.
It has also been claimed that the South American would be happy to move to England and start an adventure in The Premier League. |
