L’Équipe report that Newcastle United have in recent hours intensified contacts for Toulouse central defender Christopher Jullien.
The want-away Frenchman has interest from Germany and England in his services, but the player has never hidden his desire to move to the Premier League.
In recent hours, the Magpies have been trying to ascertain the exact price that Toulouse would demand in order for a deal to happen, and do not appear to have been met with the most helpful responses back from the notorious negotiator Toulouse President Olivier Sadran.
The newspaper however expects Newcastle to make a bid between now and the closure of the English market.
