Here is your 4am Newcastle United transfer digest.
Rabiot 'offered'
Adrien Rabiot's future at Juventus has been brought into question with recent reports, with the Magpies unsurprisingly one of several clubs linked due to their newfound wealth.
Italian outlet Calciomercato claim the Serie A giants have 'offered' the French international to Newcastle, with Chelsea also said to be 'seriously thinking' about a deal.
Rabiot recently dismissed speculation surrounding a potential transfer, insisting he sees his future in Turin.
However, the 26-year-old has struggled to consistently deliver with Juventus and recent reports suggest offers in the region of £12m would be considered.
Tarkowski decision
James Tarkowski is one of a host of names linked with a prospective January move to Newcastle United, with the England international's contract due to expire next summer.
West Ham have also been credited with an interest in the 28-year-old defender, but Burnley are reportedly prepared to allow the centre-back to depart on a free transfer at the end of the season.
Our sister title Lancs Live report that a supposed gentleman's agreement over a January exit does not exist, and Football Insider claim the Clarets will not entertain any offers for a mid-season sale.
Tarkowski has made close to 200 appearances since arriving at Turf Moor from Brentford in 2016, but there has no been indication that a new contract will be agreed to extend his stay in Lancashire.
