Newcastle are reportedly at the forefront of a potential deal for Brazilian full-back Dodo, who plays for Italian club Fiorentina.
Dodo, a talented yet inconsistent player, is available at a relatively low price of €16m, making him an attractive option for teams looking to take a risk on a new signing.
The former Shakhtar player's contract situation is a key factor behind his low price, as he only had a year left on his deal with Fiorentina, prompting the Serie A side to "offer him around" to other teams.
Fiorentina's struggles to sell Dodo thus far have led to a lack of interest from Serie A teams, but it's possible that the price could drop further if the club continues to struggle to find a buyer.
Newcastle's interest in Dodo comes as the club looks to bring in new talent after selling several big players during the summer transfer window.
The Magpies will need to act quickly to secure Dodo's signing, as it seems likely that other teams will also be interested in the Brazilian full-back if Newcastle don't act.
In other transfer news, Trevoh Chalobah and Maxence Lacroix could be on the move this summer, with the pair potentially swapping clubs.
Additionally, a Premier League defender could be forced into a sale after their team's relegation, potentially leading to a move to a new club.
