Newcastle comes after a shock movement for Stuttgart -striker Nick Woltemade, Daily Mail Sport can excluding exclusively.
Sources in Germany say that conversations have been accelerated today and that the financial data of a deal between the clubs have been agreed.
It is thought that the reimbursement in the £ 75 million region is and Woltemade must be on Tyneside for a medical one.
If the move continues, it would bring a close -lung pursuit of Newcastle for a striker -and he could see movement on Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
Woltemade would also represent a huge coup for the Magpies, given his leading role for Germany under 21 at this summer's European championship.
The 23-year-old, who also has two senior caps, scored 17 times last season for Stuttgart and is seen as one of Europe's most exciting young attackers.
Isak and his camp will hope that the signing of such a striker is the breakthrough that is needed to facilitate his sale to Liverpool.
Newcastle still hopes to close a deal for Yoanee Wissa van Brentford, but Woltemade would be seen as an alternative to Wolven striker Jorgen Strand-Larsen.
