Newcastle are waiting for encouragement from Juventus to move for Aaron Ramsey.
Ramsey has played just 112 minutes all season and Juve want to offload his £400,000-per-week wages, says The Sun.
Toon's new mega-rich Saudi owners are eyeing up a move – along with West Ham and Everton - with the Serie A club open to a loan or cut-price deal.
Ramsey, 31, is believed to be keen on a Prem return having left Arsenal for Italy on a free transfer in 2019.
However, the Welshman would need to accept a pay cut with Toon unwilling to match his current earnings.
